He says further, From Me comes remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. So, He is maintaining not only the body but also the mind by giving remembrance and taking away bad memories. Our chitta is filled with many things good and bad. If the bad memories remain with us all the time then we cannot function. Right? Therefore He very mercifully takes away our remembrance. Therefore we do not remember our past lives. If we remember our past lives then it will be very difficult to continue.
You can see in this life only, a person aged 60-70 has so many anxieties. It naturally happens because a person goes through so many experiences youth, married life, job. With so many activities, by the age of 60 they are filled with so many anxieties that he wants to forget it. So, in the next life if you remember all those things then how will you start your life? So, He clears away all these things and gives you remembrance like the first day you chanted, first round etc. This helps you to keep up. So Krsna gives these memories and He maintains us at all levels body, mind, knowledge. He gives intelligence to grasp.
In this way He is giving all these things and in that chapter Purushottama Yoga, He explains, Who actually He is?
