Be in the moment. Be here and now

What is life? Is it past , or is it future. No, it is here and now. Yes, it is present and not past and not future. The past and future are just thoughts in our mind. There is some extra power and energy in Now which you can feel only in the present. Focus on now, focus on present, meditate on present.

You will not be sad, afraid, anxious and worried if you are always in present. Do not be identified with the mind and also not with the body. It will be difficult to always be in present. It requires practice but it is not impossible. The mind is so conditioned for the last so many years to think unnecessarily about the past and future. But daily practicing to be in present helps.

Ways to be in present :

1. Meditation - Be in silence daily for some time. Start with 10 min of silence daily and slowly increase it to 15-20-25-30-45 min and may be 1 hour.
2. Focus on breathing : Try to focus on breathing (in and out), just observe breathing. Make a habit of doing this many times a day. Slowly this will become habit and will prevent you from unnecessary thinking.
3. Feel like an observer : Try to detach from body and mind, whenever you can and think like an observer. You will be more happy.

These are some ways to be in present. Will write more on similar topics.

Can do anything - Break from yourself

A person is capable to do anything. Only that person stops himself from doing anything. It is just focus and determination, one can achieve that thing. What is a human being ? A soul with a body and mind. Soul is unlimited and is directly connected to the ultimate ONE. The mind creates an illusion around the soul and prevents one from knowing the actual truth. The truth which can liberate oneself. The truth which will help find the origin, the ONE.

Once, a person finds the truth and connect to that ONE, he will feel the energy. He will be happy without any reason because he is happiness. The truth will come that all are ONE. That ultimate is expressing itself through all of us, through this universe. That is the consciousness. He will feel the part of that game. He is not the doer. Through him, the actions are taken. He will be at peace.

Initially, it requires effort to connect. Some may connect early, some may connect late. Some may connect never. It depends on how a person is feeling the need to connect. The connection to the soul can be through meditation, mindfulness or it may occur when one is in severe pain / grief or near death. The fun is to be connected to the innermost irrespective of the outer conditions. Once, one is connected, he will be happy and content.

Then, he will not identify himself with the body, nor with the mind. He will be the observer. He will do the actions as required in daily life, but not worry about the result. If the result is conducive, he will not be over excited and if the result is not conducive, he will not be sad. The situations will not affect him. In this situation, a person is capable to do anything, which he decides.

One need to break from his thoughts, from his mind, from himself. Then he will merge with infinite. That feeling is inexplicable. One can only experience but cannot describe.
