Question:
As soon as I try to stay “here”, then this moment has already become past…So how can it be possible to just “Be” here & now, if ‘this’ moment is always ever-changing?
Sri Prabhuji:
Every moment is transient. We cannot catch the present moment because if flies away into past. Being in the present moment means recognizing “I AM the Presence” in all moments. The “I AM Presence” is unchanging reality. Past-present-future appear in the “Now of I AM presence”. Being in the present moment also means accepting what happens in the given moment. Nature of world is change. Everything changes. Being in the present moment means accepting the situation moment to moment – not rejecting what is happening in the Presence – NOW. We don’t have control on what happens in a given moment. Accepting what happens, responding to situation with right action but not reaction is living in the present.
