The mind is a very funny thing. It keeps on roaming, sometimes here sometimes there. Sometimes in the past, and then into the future. And it more than often manages to keep us in a virtual world. After all, it's all a roller coaster ride that takes place away from the reality.
So, what is this reality all about? When we realize it seems so simple. And yes, reality is of course, very simple. And that's THE NOW. The change we want in our lives can be made only in the now. And if we can see this reality of life, it's just that easy and simple. Yes....?? It appears very obvious. But how many times do we go round and round, going on & on about something that happened in the past? Continuously thrashing our mind in a lost battle trying to change things already happened. And how many times do we keep on worrying about something to come in the future. We see time as a one-dimensional entity, moving on from past to present, then to future. And imagine present to be in between the two. But in reality, there's no life in the past, or in the future. The past is already dead, and the future is still not conceived. The history was only the present in the past, and the future comes to life only as a present.
Once we go beyond these, and start being totally aware every moment, then that is LIFE & that is LIVING. Maybe it's the ability to leave the past, and stop worrying about the future that makes us ETERNAL. The life starts flowing. We can still plan for the future, and learn from the past, but by enjoying everything in the present. In the present they're no worries, no tensions, no guilt, no fear. It's just being. Every moment manifests itself before us. And it's just a flow where everything starts happening instantaneously. You never go after anything in your mind. Life comes to a still. They'll not be that constant urge to become something or to go after something. You realize that you're already everything. And you just need to express it in every moment. And then they'll not be any ordinary moments. Every moment is wonderful and precious. You can feel the manifestation of every moment as the universe changes itself. You become so alert that, you can hear, see, feel everything around you.
There are glimpses of this living in every individual. In different times, there is this FLOW, when things just happen without any interference. When we can do nothing wrong. Everything happens in an automatic mode. Maybe when we're playing, singing, dancing, creating, playing a musical instrument, or anything that we love doing heartily. Maybe because, every being is eternal, and there's no way but to show itself, at least in flashes. We say, we were in a trance or, were totally involved. But, what if life itself flows like that, with such a total involvement and timelessness???

Thank you guys for ur comments....
A very late reply :).
I'll try to put it more clearly next time around. But, somehow I feel, for this blog, the topic itself is of a different plane, so it's difficult to put in words something which is there even before words.
And somehow, words are limited to explain something which is out of world. Neverthless, I'll try & be more clear. Thanx.
