This valuable title book by the scholar and former President of the Theosophical Society C. Jinarajadasa offers a variety of answers to the question: 'Why do we not remember our past lives?' Here the reader will learn in what ways we do 'remember' them. Reincarnation is placed within the wider setting of evolution, cyclic progression and the spiritual development of individuals and of humanity itself. The author's poetic style is enriched with inspiring quotations.
