Passage 21

In English

Today, people are worried about what they are incapable of. They do not think about what they are supposed to do. Students keep dreaming about the future, without attending to their studies. Past is past. Don’t worry about the past. Whatever was done will not come back. Future is in the womb of time; it is unseen and uncertain. So do not worry about future. The present is very important. It is not ordinary present, it is omnipresent. The past is a tree, the future is also a tree; but the present is the seed. The past is in the present; and the future is also in the present. What you ate earlier, you will have its belch now. Experience the present properly. Don’t worry; always be happy. While eating food, don’t worry where the vegetables came from and what will happen to the consumed food tomorrow. So, don’t think of past or future; be happy in the present. There was a mother whose son became ill and died of fever. After five years, her second son also became ill. The mother started worrying that the same might not happen to him.
