Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Present
We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
There is neither past nor future. There is only the present.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
The present moment is indeed a ‘present’ from the Divine… Life as it is happening now, learn to appreciate it, rejoice in it.
-A Spiritual Leader "Anandmurti Gurumaa"
Life is only the present. Here, the moment once gone, is gone forever. It can
never come back. At the same time, no moment of future arrives with prior
intimation. Hence, this travel back and forth in the past and future, is nothing but
the manifestation of our fears. There is nothing worthwhile in it.
-Deep Trivedi
How could a person who is busy trying to amass more than a moment, ever
be successful in a world which is enlightened by just one facet of time i.e
'present'?
-Deep Trivedi
Train yourself in godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
-Bible "Timothy 4.7-8"
If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.
-Tsunetomo Yamamoto "Tsunetomo Yamamoto"
