Understanding
THE POWER OF
NOW
The Problem
Our Relationships Are SourOur Life is Meaningless
We suffer because our life is NOTHING BUT
one of the two movies
That is…OUR LIFE IS…
Or living in the imaginary future!
Worrying about our past…
Though we think we are ALIVE, we are not living at all !
THIS IS CALLEDUNCONSCIOUS LIFE!
So
OUR LIVES ARE DARK
WE SUFFER ENDLESSLY
OUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE BROKEN
How?
THE DIAGNOSIS
.
You are not LIVING!
You are only REACTINGTo your life-situation
What is “Life-Situation”?
To keep on reacting to the two
“movies”: Dream movie about the future
Sad movie of the past
and call this “life”:
BUT that is NOT life!!!
THE SOLUTION?
STOP THIS AT ONCE!!!
WHAT SHOULD WE DO THEN?
LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT!
TWO IDEAL PRACTICES : TO OBSERVE OUR MIND CONSTANTLY–
OUR EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS, IDEAS….
TO LIVE IN THE ‘NOW’
Further…
• We always project a false personality.
• We should STOP giving energy to this false
“I” – the “pain-body” – by living in the
present constantly.
• “Pain-body” is the body which our mind has
created through negative thinking.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
• We disconnect time from the mind and live in Real time.
• Our “Mind” stops tormenting us.
We disconnect consciousness from the
“mind” which is NOTHING BUT a garbage of thoughts.
What is Consciousness?
The MindWhich creates the false
Personality“I”
The physicalbodyFalse ‘I’
CalledPain-body
ConsciousnessOr Being
TILL NOW…
Consciousness
Our mind-- a bundle of
Past and future
OurPainbody
We were projecting our pain body before the world. We always added more pain to it, or
enjoyed inflicting pain.
What happens when we concentrate on NOW?
THE CONSCIOUSNESS –THE REAL WE-- DOMINATES
ConsciousnessOR Being
THE RESULT
• TRUE LIVING and TRUE JOY
• FREEDOM FROM FEAR
• FREEDOM FROM WORRIES AND PROBLEMS
• FREEDOM FROM BONDAGES
• LIBERATION
We learn to accept things as they are
• We accept our life now as it is—and are
free from worries.
• We accept our relations as they are—and
are free from quarrels and problems.
We become illumined.
