Gurudev H. H. Sri Sri Ravishankar emphasizes on the importance of living in the present moment. This is the most valuable lesson I have learnt from him which has changed my life for the better. Mind is so fickle that it seldom stays in the present. Like a pendulum, it keeps shuttling between the past and the future. It is either lost in the glories or the regrets of the past or busy planning for the future. In doing so, we forget to enjoy the present where happiness lies.
Be here now…
Retreat from the past hurts and regrets
No more reveling in the past glories
The time to be happy is now!
Be here now…
For happiness doesn’t lie in fancy vacations
Or exotic locations which you can only dream of
Or in the surreal spots far off from the daily grind.
The place to be happy is here!
Be here now…
And live each moment as it comes
With some passion and compassion
For this is where happiness lies!
Be here now…
And live each moment mindfully
Accepting and embracing God’s will
Being aware of the impermanence of life
Realizing this is the ultimate truth.
