The Present Moment

The present moment is indeed a 'Present' from the Divine. One needs to be with it, relish it, and soak in it. But we are not always in the present, not here -not now; always somewhere else, wondering, speculating, thinking, analyzing, doing everything, but never living in the Present. It is a very subtle, fine moment, a fleeting one. You have to be very cautious, very attentive; only then you may successfully catch it or else you’ll simply miss it.

Our mind has the habit of thinking and what an ugly habit; we are told that because we think – so we exist, so keep thinking. We are told that if you are not occupied with the mind all the time, then you will invite the devil. It is such a heightened misconception that people are going crazy just because of this. An empty mind is not the devil’s home but an empty mind is the home of the Buddha.
