Thought for the Day - 21st July 2014 (Monday)

Everyone is very interested about their future. What is future? It is based on the past. Don’t brood over the past and don’t worry about the future. Past is past. What is the use in thinking about it or worrying about something that is dead and gone? Just forget it! Present is very important. Live in the moment and follow the present. Often many think of the past or of the future and ruin the present. Many times you feel you were happy in the past and are unhappy now. To what extent were you happy then? Has your attitude changed since the past? Has the dirtiness in your mind been cleansed? Believe that you are happy now; you have sufficiency in everything. Your mind is right now blessed. You must always “Help Ever and Hurt Never”. Bhagawan wants you to appreciate the importance of the “present” and work for your progress, living in the present, living in the moment.

Setiap orang sangat tertarik tentang masa depan mereka. Apa itu masa depan? Masa depan didasarkan pada masa lalu. Janganlah memikirkan masa lalu dan janganlah mengkhawatirkam masa depan. Masa lalu adalah masa lalu. Apa gunanya memikirkan hal itu atau khawatir tentang sesuatu yang sudah mati dan sudah pergi? Lupakan saja! Masa kini sangat penting. Jalanilah kehidupan masa kini dan ikutilah masa kini. Banyak orang memikirkan masa lalu atau masa depan dan merusak masa sekarang. Banyak dari kalian merasa bahagia di masa lalu dan merasa tidak bahagia di masa sekarang. Sejauh mana engkau merasakan kebahagiaan itu? Apakah sikapmu berubah karena masa lalu? Apakah kekotoran dalam pikiranmu dibersihkan? Percayalah bahwa saat ini engkau merasa bahagia; engkau memiliki kecukupan dalam segala hal. Pikiranmu sekarang diberkati. Engkau harus "Selalu membantu, tidak pernah menyakiti". Bhagawan ingin engkau menghargai pentingnya "masa kini" dan bekerja untuk kemajuanmu, hidup di masa sekarang, hidup di saat ini.
