LIVE IN PRESENT

Only present is important. Past and future depends upon the way we live in present. Past and future are affected by the purpose, knowledge and intent ( Bhaavna, ભાવના ) of living in present. The soul that continuously makes an effort in present, to fulfill its goal of development, is always relaxed and free from worries about the future. That soul lives in present with all its heart. He uses all of his energy to live in present ( in all aspect and with clear intent ) with knowledge and devotion. Past and future can not distract this kind of soul from its final aim. The soul that toils in this fashion ( lives in present ) has a feeling of non existence of past and future ( even though it exists ). He experiences as if the present contains both, the past and the future. Keys to the future lies in the art of living in present.
