Living in the present moment or “Now” doesn’t mean giving up the past or future at all, it simply means we should acknowledge them for what they are – thoughts being experienced in the mind in the present moment. Putting more energy into our thoughts about past or future than is necessary distracts us from experiencing what is real. Life manifests only in the present. Present moment is the only moment there ever is.
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible, only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too. – Osho
Make the NOW the primary focus of your life
Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. Now is the only reality, all else is either memory or imagination. – Alan Watts
Real communication happens in silence
The laughter, the tears and the silence do their work without the need of words.
You are the sky. Everything else it’s just the weather
You are not in the universe, you are the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself.
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it
The most precious thing in life is life itself. Are you getting it now or only on your deadhbed? – Sadhguru
There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be
“I want happiness”. First remove “I”, that is ego. Then remove “want”, that is desire. All that remains is happiness.
If even for a single moment you are not doing anything and you simply are, that’s what meditation is
Existence is that which happens, that which goes on happening.
Existence means that which goes on happening eternally. So anything that happens is Existence. You and everyone are happenings. This eternal happening is Existence.
There is no creator and no creation. Your birth is a happening, and your death will be a happening. Your being here is a happening. Your not being here will be a happening.
If you can’t relax, you can’t truly participate in existence
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. – Chinese Proverb
There is no God somewhere outside you. Existence and you are enough.
Through our eyes the existence is perceiving itself. Life happens from within. How aware you are of it, decides the quality of your experience of life.
