The present moment is inevitable. What happens in it is
inevitable. So, why are we resisting the present moment?
The beauty of Life resides in the moment.
In the present. Whatever you may do, you cannot prevent the present. You can
grieve your past. You can worry about your future. But you can do
nothing__other than live through it__about the present moment! Before you know
it, it is here. In front of you. And you are in it! And then it is gone. And a
new present is born. So, how can you ever avoid the present? It is impossible.
As people who have gone through a basic education, who like to live Life by
understanding it better, this one powerful unputdownable thought should lead
you to a lifetime of peace and bliss.
Spiritualist and writer Anthony D’Mello
(1931~1987) shares a parable that goes like this:
“What is the secret of your serenity?” asked the
disciple.
“To cooperate unconditionally with the
inevitable,” answered the Master.
So beautiful. And so simple. As you finish
another week reflect on this thought. Resolve to accept, collaborate, partner,
and be in the inevitable present. Cooperate unconditionally with it. See how it transforms your Life __ helping you stay happy and
peaceful__ despite all your circumstances.
