Question:
What is it about the present moment that helps us to Self-realization?
Sri Prabhuji:
Mind keeps floating in time and space – past and future. Past and future are unreal.
Present moment forms the gateway for mind to return to the source which is Presence.
Body and breath are in the present moment. By taking attention to sensation of body or breath, mind settles in present moment. Present moment is NOW and HERE. By becoming aware that I am aware, attention shifts from present moment to PRESENCE (awareness) which is NOWHERE – not in time and space.
