“In reality, there is only now, if you know how to handle this moment, you know how to handle eternity.” – Sadhguru
Everyone’s whereabouts as in where is Galaxy 64 or where is one particular planet in the solar system.
But, unaware of the fact that where we are at present.
Once Sadhguru Quoted –
“You want to know everything about the universe but don’t know the body you live in… that’s why you are paying the price.”
Absolutely, Right.
We don’t know where the hell is our breath, mind and consciousness, and want to know everything about this whole existence.
That’s why most of the time we end up saying something like “Life is so unfair.” As this world doesn’t come with a guarantee card of only joyfulness.
We experience heap of emotions that take us on roller coaster ride of both sides, bright and dark.
You know, it took thousands of years for humans to understand the cerebral activity of human?
And what we are doing now?
Suffering from our intelligence most of the time.
We always live in the past, thinking about future and suppressing the present moment. This is the main reason we suffering from depression, misery and pain.
To reduce this struggle, its really important to know where you are, physically and mentally, because everything happen within us only.
Not taking the charge of your body, and mind can create a black hole to your joyfulness and eventually you won’t find the way out.
Therefore, read your manuals first, to live a good life as your body is a sophisticated machine demanding to be understood.
“Each morning, we are born again. What we do today is what matters most” – Buddha
Buddha Story on Live in the Moment
This famous Buddha story will connect your soul with the real-you and teach you a lesson why it is important to live in the moment.
One day Gautama Buddha was walking in the woods when three men approached him.
With a sudden curiosity, they asked him if he had seen a woman running away.
Gautama Buddha diligently asked them the reason for chasing this woman.
To this, the men replied that the night before they had brought this woman for merrymaking but instead she drank them to oblivion and stole all their money.
Buddha simply smiled and said, “It is good that she reduced your burden”.
One of the three men was baffled and enraged by those words of Buddha. He thought that Buddha was mocking them.
Buddha sensed his disappointment and explained that the woman was stealing the most important thing from the all of them, that is “their precious time”.
The three men in a confused state look at Buddha as if seeking for an appropriate answer.
Buddha elaborates by saying that the most precious and priceless thing in this world is only time, which is being consumed completely in the chase of a woman.
He further added that they were dragging their past in their present instead they should realize the importance of time and move on in life with lesson learned.
“One cannot change their future if the past is still haunting their souls.” – Mahima Pahwa
Then, one of the three men questions Buddha, “what if we live in the moment?”
Buddha instantly replies by saying, “if you live in the present then you will be able to discover yourself and find out who you are.”
The most powerful prison is when you are unaware about the fact that you’re locked up. Once you know that you are locked, you can try to unlock yourself.
These three men not only learned the most important lesson of time but also learned the fact about how discovering oneself is a major aspect of life.
“You only lose what you cling to” – Buddha
