Being the Present Moment

Everything that happens in the present moment is necessary.
The crux of man’s dilemma lies in the concept of time. While chasing his mythical happiness of the future, man has no time to enjoy the present moment. And actually there is no such thing as the present because by the time one thinks of it, it has already become the past. Therefore, what is vital is not thinking about the present but actually being that present moment – and that is nothing other than enlightenment.
In order to understand this strange, unknown, starkly inevitable thing called death we must first understand life. What we must find out is what we are now. To die now to every moment and every experience is the death that is ETERNITY ITSELF. (RAMESH S . BALSEKAR)
