The Past Is Gone

Recalling the past, reacting to it and being sad about its events that brought sorrow and grief is stupidity and madness, downing the will and wasting the present existence.

The dossier of the past, in the sight of the wise, is gone and is not recounted; it will be forever locked up in the dungeons of the forgotten, fettered with a strong rope in the prisons of disregard and so, it will never find its way out. It will be put under lock so that it does not see the light, for it is gone and is over.

Neither will sorrow bring it back, nor will grief put it right nor will sadness amend it. No vexation will reenact it because it is irrecoverable!! Do not live in the nightmare of the past, under the shade of the missed.

Take yourself out of the phantasm of the past; do you want to return the river to its fountain, the sun to its place of rise, the child to its mother's womb, the milk to the udder, and the tears to the eye??

Certainly, your reacting to the past, being restless due to it and been burnt by its flame and tragically hurled on its doorstep will make you live in fear, fright and panic.

Reading form the pages of past is inefficient use of the present, wasting effort and balling up precious time. There is no need exhuming the corpses of the past times and bringing back the sorrows that turned history.

The one who returns to the past is like the one who mills flour which is basically pulverized, and the one sawing sawdust. In the past, it was said regarding the one who cries over the spilled milk: you cannot bring back life, the dead in the grave.

The problem with us is that we fall short regarding the present and get busy with our past, we do not pay attention to our slackness but we weep over the past ruins. If the men and jinns gather together to bring back what has passed they will not able to, because this is the real impossibility.

The people do not look at the point at the past and they do not turn to the back for the wind moves onward and the water flows ahead. So, do not contradict the rule of existence. :)
