What to say of our memory?  

We remember everything! 

When did somebody not offer tea or who insulted us after inviting us to their house and who ditched us and when.

We also remember the people, who left us in the times of difficulty. Who all are jealous of our happiness …we remember all this.

We remember everything!

Not only this, we wait for the opportunity to take revenge from the person who didn’t offer us tea. By hook or crook, we try to call the person at our place and do not offer him tea for a long time, as he did, in order to insult him in the same manner as he insulted us; till then, we do not feel satisfied.

Only these are our memories. Then too, after remembering so much, we feel that our memory is weak and we rush to some coaching classes where a person is taught as to how to increase memory power. What and how much do you still want to memorize? Do you also want to keep an account of how much you have had in your meals?

Conscious mind is the link between the thoughts and memories along with our wishes and desires. So, try to weaken the memories of the moments of the past. By doing so, the conscious mind would get weakened by itself.

The other important thing is desires and worries of the future whereas in reality, there is no bigger a lie than future. In there, a person, no matter how important he is, always gets one moment, where, he can live his life. What ever it is, is just in that one moment.

We have heard thousands of time the jingle that says, "You neither never know, what is in your future, nor you know anything that happened, in your past, whatever it is, it is just this one moment". This moment’s shadow has surrounded everyone in such a way that you feel it to be dark but actually only this moment has the light. Whatever it is, is just this one moment and nothing else.

If we live every moment with joy and happiness then only we live the moment but if we have all the sorrows and worries in this moment, we are dead. We have also killed the moment. No matter, how much joy, the coming moments have, but they can never bring back that moment and can fulfill the absence of joy in that moment. This is the supreme secret of this moment and living in present is the epitome of science.

But, we can never discard the future. Our mind is full of thoughts, worries and desires of tomorrow but we forget that life is always today. Life is now. No one knows, whether the sun is going to rise tomorrow, or the earth is going to rotate, nothing is sure and certain. Now, why should one think of tomorrow, which is so uncertain?

But, we have always lived either in the past or in the future. We really spend very less time in present. Present of any human is always free from any kind of worries, sorrows and unnecessary desires. The person living his life in the present does not have worries. Let us try to understand this with the help of an example –

A man in America fell down from the 100th floor. As he was falling, and passing the 23rd floor, a man asked him about his well being. Surprisingly enough, the falling man gave a smile and said, "right now, I am absolutely fine, lets see what happens next". This man will always remain happy. He will not die even for a moment. This person will fall, will die too but even then, he will always be alive.

In fact, there is one specialty of mind. We never value the things that we possess but we always give more value to the things we do not have. Even if the thing that we do not have is worthless, it appears to be gold to us. As the saying goes, "The grass looks greener on the other side", only the things that we do not have holds greater value for us and the thing which is far away from us appears to be attractive.

The condition of our mind is more corrupted than this. The thing, which was with us, is not even valued for a penny. When the same thing parts away from us, it appears to be a diamond.
