Hlo to my candle monk community!!!!
Let me recite a story to you
Once in a village there were two freinds. They were sitting under a tree. One freind noticed that the other one is thinking something and he asked him instantly “what happened? What are you thinking?”. His freind replied that “I'm planning to buy some farm land and a garden.” The other freind replied “ No please, don't buy a garden. I'm planning to buy a Buffalo. My Buffalo would enter in your garden and destroy it, and this will lead to a fight between us."
They started arguing about this and this argument lead to a fight that they even broke each other's limbs. They went to the panchayat.
But did you noticed one thing that there fear of Future lead them to break their freindship. Neither them had bought a Buffalo or a garden but their thoughts of Future lead them to dispute.
We have made up our minds in such a way that we think of our future actions and disturb our minds more and more. We will think of future, “Oh! What will happen? ” and in this thought one day we will die. Our anxiety will lead our mind to be a great mess. The fear of Future affects us so much that we are not able to enjoy our present surroundings and actions.
Our mind forgets the divine. We just think “ Me, mine, tomorrow, the day after, the day after that, next week, next year, next 10 years, and so on……” People also plan their next births. See the newly married couple they promise each other that our love is just not for this birth, we will stay together for next seven births. But in reality they would be fed of each other in next 5-6 months.
I believe that we should live in present and don't worry about future actions. This worrying about our future will just lead us to a unhealthy and unfit life. We are so lost in thinking about future that we forget to enjoy and cherish our present moment.
We don't see that no one knows what will happen in next moment, so we must focus more on our present. It's a gift given to us by God, so live its fullest.
Try to help atleast one person in your life daily. This will not only give them happiness but you will also feel so happier and enjoyable in life.
