Tomorrow is an illusion. Future is a Mirage. Is there tomorrow? There is an old saying that “Kal kisne dekha hai” Has anyone seen tomorrow?. Nobody has seen tomorrow because tomorrow doesn’t exist. Present is Life. This is the reality that we should accept. There is only present. Living in the present leads us to progress & present lived creates our past. Life is a continuous flow of moments. What we have experienced becomes our past & what we are experiencing is the present.
Day
Night date calendar are only indicators for calculation & tabulation. They
help us to optimally channelize & regulate our resources. They are markers
for us to recuperate & rejuvenate so that our energies are optimised. They
help in keeping our body in working condition, give us peace & help
optimize our capabilities.
Actually
we are always in the present & should always live life in the present. Present
is a Gift or a Present to us from God, our Creator. Even when we sleep we are
theoretically in a comatose state or transient phase of present. When we wake
up we wake up in the present & not in tomorrow. All our waking &
working hours are lived in the present, which is a conscious state, where we
are aware of our surroundings & faculties.
There are innumerable advantages of living in the present. By being in the present we live a happy life fully savouring every moment. This happy state of mind will help us be more devoted to our work thus keeping uncertainties & depression away. Devotion will help us not be distracted & waste time worrying about the future or rueing about the past. We get more focused. As we are focused our capabilities & productivity increases. Our concentration improves giving added confidence to face any adverse situation. Those living in the present don’t have to worry about the future because their focus assures them success & progress.
Future
is a mirage. In pursuit of this mirage we stop living & enjoying what
present offers us. We miss pleasures of living in the present for a life planning
for uncertain future. When we are not sure of next moment or next breath or
tomorrow then how can we be sure that what we have planned for future will turn
out as we had planned. I am sure that there is nobody in this world whose life
has played out exactly as they had planned.
When
our actions are influenced by thought of future benefits then we are sure to
get tempted by greed, distracted by doubts, plagued by uncertainties &
apprehensions. Our actions will be guided by prospects of future benefits then
what is ethically required in the present. Positivity is the benefit of living
in the present & negativity plagues us in pursuit of future or mirage.
Very true. That's what life is a present a gift to live only in presentπππ
