We need to offer all kind of karmas, thoughts, speech, vrutties, feelings, intentions, relations and contacts at Thy lotus feet continuously with awareness and devotion. Sadhak (of development of life) has to continuously and instantly offer and continue such effort at all the time. Then only he can become true devotee of God. Whatever happens, remember Him and offer at His feet at that very moment. If we can do this with true awareness and devotion, future or past just do not enter the consciousness.
So we should neither keep on remembering past events and lengthen the thread of that thought and feeling nor keep entertaining the thoughts " I will do this in future and this will happen then". We should not keep on mulling over such thoughts. We should not get confused with series of questions like "what is after death?", "how did the universe came into existence?", "why there is so much misery in the world?". Our intellect can never solve such questions. At the present level of intellect there is no possibility since there is not enough depth and energy in it. When we experience the divine consciousness such questions will not arise. We will accept any situation as it is then. So presently you should not concern yourself with questions like "why and how did universe came into existence?", "what comes after death?", "why there is misery in the world?". At present our most important work is to figure out our goal and how we want to achieve it. Never allow our attention to be diverted in any thing else.
Let us live in the present. We need to take care of the present. One who lives the life with awareness, love, devotion, keeps the aim of developing life and lives life in appropriate manner has one's future equally bright. Present contains past as well as future. One who accepts the present as training ground to be free from the intricacies of the past and gets inspiration to actually put and follow through in practice with love, devotion and awareness; has one's future always as present. One who lives present appropriately knows the right way to live life. One who lives the life in present appropriately with right intentions and awareness will not experience the past and the future will express in present automatically.
