Yes we dont grieve over the lost relations for the previous births. That book "MANY LIFE
MANY MASTERS", that clearly shows how we are basically a group that have been guiding
from one life to the other.

Basically, all the realted atman to me drag alongwith me only the higher sould amoung them
are replaced with others

Punya and Pavana

A group of Bengalis have come. One of them has recently lost a child.
He put the question to Bhagava
"Why did that child die so young? Is it his karma or our karma that we should have this grief?"

Bhagavan: "The prarabdha which the child had to work out in this life
was over and so it passed away.
So we may call it the child’s karma.
So far as you are concerned, it is open to you not to grieve over it,
but to remain calm and unaffected by it, being convinced that the
child was not yours but always only God’s, that God gave and God took
away."
And in this connection Bhagavan took out the Yoga Vasishta in English
to refer to the story of Punya and Pavana.
Strange to say, when he casually opened the book, it actually opened at the story he had in mind.
And from the book he asked me to read out the portion where Punya
advises his brother Pavana not to grieve foolishly over the death of
their parents, pointing out that Pavana had had innumerable births in
the past, in each one of which he had a number of relations and that
exactly as he is not mourning for the death of all those relations
now, he should not now mourn for the death of their father either."
