The Greatest truth of our life is here and now. It is called Present.Truth is what really exists. What really exists is Present… Present… Present… Present… We believe in past, present and future, but forget the fact that they are only points in the series of Present. Psychologically, we have divided this Present into past, present experience and future. But Present is the only universal truth which is constant, unchanging and exists forever hence called ever-present reality.
Living in the Present needs a complete understanding of what is Present. For analytical and explanatory purposes, the “Present” could be divided into two parts. The first part is the ‘Peripheral state” (Surface reality) which is external, physical, tangible, past dependent and visible to our eyes. Generally, we experience this state and it is perceived easily by us from the beginning of our lives. Hence we call it as ‘Outer Present.’ It is experienced as infinite outer existence with Ecosystem, body and mind. It is also labelled with different names like superficial reality, periphery, materialistic world, Prakruti , outer spirit, outer truth, outer self… etc.,
The second part of the ‘Present’ is an important dimension, which we need to understand scientifically. From a scientific perspective, the whole of Outer Present is made up of atoms with the inner content of 99.9999999% empty-like-space which we refer to as Inner Present. It is experienced as deep sleep like state. It is also labelled with different names like Deeper reality, Inherent present state, center, Real I, core, Purusha, inner spirit, inner truth, inner self… etc.,
- Understanding the ‘Present’ scientifically and learning to live in both the parts of the Present is the essence and goal of “Living In The Present.” Normally we are living our life with reference to our past or imagining [future]. Hence scientific spirituality recommends living in the present.
- Present is omni-present as it’s the wholeness. The past is History. The past cannot be undone. Do not brood over the past. However, past is known to you and will help you handle the Present accordingly. Do not worry about the future. Instead, focus on making your Present beautiful by enjoying the wholeness and the future will be taken care of.
