Isn’t a thought of misery what makes life miserable…?? And isn’t a thought of joy what makes life joyful…?? Are thoughts how you experience life then…??
Your life is indeed seen through the screen of your mind, and whether that screen is filthy or not is what you will experience in life; so, life in its nature, as it happens around you, is neutral, neither positive nor negative, but the color of your screen, or depending on how clean or filthy it is, is what shall make the difference of your unique experience. Can you understand this…??
And certainly life can become a hell when our thoughts disturb us and get the worst reactions from us, but we may say that this is the extremely powerful illusion of our egos, which choose how to see life. Because the mind sees life in terms of time, thus past and future, what was and what will be but never what actually is; for what actually is right now is added flavor by a thought of the past pressuring you or a thought of a future making you anxious. If you are actually absorbed in the present, without thoughts from the past or the future, you are fine and without stress, are you not…??
The present moment, not 1 second before and not 1 second after but the very Now, is devoid or absolutely free of time and fear and all its forms of stress; furthermore, this Now is where your very existence is, is where happiness and love can be found within you, and this Now is the origin of all what life is. The Now is life. The past and future are not life, but they are constructs of your mind, of your ego and its screen… Ask yourself: “Have I ever actually lived the past or the future…?? Or have I lived always the present moment, the Now, and my mind designs the illusion of past and future…??“ …Think about it deeply…
And so, to master life, to really enjoy life no matter the situation, you must see life as a lesson to deeper understanding, something to experience and to free you from thinking too much; which is what creates regrets and all stress in the first place, thinking too much and getting lost in your thinking…
Remind yourself then that life is to be experienced and understood. No more and no less…
“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ~ Omar Khayyam; Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet.
