Passage 57

In English

Man today is all the time thinking about the past and worrying about the future. Always it is: Past, future; past, future; past, future; ..... Brooding over the past and worrying about the future, man loses track of the present. You must not forget that the present is a product of the past; it is also the seed for the future. The past and future are thus embedded in the present. Man does not seem to appreciate this basic truth. If you want a good and bright future, then make proper use of the present. The present is a tree that has sprung from a seed called the past. This tree also has the seed for the future. Thus, the future is already here!
