living in the moment

    - Dwarakaithalaivan

Willing to live in the past or future is like talking to a person in front of you through a cell phone.Living in the moment is not a search for something without thinking about any thing.It is the ability to concentrate on the work we do right now.This moment is the wonderful thing bestowed on us by nature.All of us are moving toward physical death in every moment.I don't say that every moment is a precious one.But once we miss it, we won't have it again. Problem with the human mind is that it takes asylum in the past or future.It finds them as the suitable places to get rid of  troubles.Then it totally forgets the present moment or comes back to it for a short period.Is it living?Embracing the moment is not an exercise.It is the real beauty of living. The present moment provides something which cannot be found in the past or future.Mind creates unrealistic things only when we are in the past or future.Do you want to miss the most realistic thing which is the present moment?You would be happy fantasizing about any thing.you could even imagine that you are the richest man on earth.Are you happy going around a museum built at the centre of a live forest?

Thank you for your opinion, Dwarakaithalaivan ! Living in the moment enriches us !
