Ever wonder why do we always stay in past and future. We think that we are living in present but in fact we are not. Just watch and you will know the truth. First of all i want you to do is to close your eyes and just watch which idea or thought comes to your mind. Just watch it but dont judge it. Did it come after a long time? well there you are...when you were watching or waiting for the thought you were in the state of presence. Mind as said is a great servant but a terrible master. If we dont watch our thoughts it sways to and fro. Just notice...it will either think about some event of the past or dreaming about future. That is the problem. We are not staying in the present. We are not enjoying the present...instead we are brooding in past or future.
I have noticed this and wondered how to stop this. I came across a book called "The power of now" which says just be a silent observer. Just watch our thoughts but dont judge it because if we judge it than we will be thinking about present or future. It says mind cannot stay in present and that is why it takes us back to past or future to keep himself alive. All the human emotion like ego,anger,love,happiness are the illusions created by mind to keep itself alive.
