Note – this small part of Bhagavatham gives profound knowledge to the sincere seeker of Truth.   If we evaluate ourselves, we can see that a lot of mental power is spent or wasted on replaying past experiences and imagining future experiences.

We enjoy remembering the good experiences and expect more of such in future too. We make plans with anxiety and feverishness. When we replay bad experiences, it generates toxins in the mind and diseases in the body. It takes away our innocence and happiness.

So, we can see that the likes and dislikes caused by sensory experiences toggle our mind from past to future and thus we miss the present moment.

Remember, every thing happens in the present moment. Past is already gone and can not be altered. Future depends on what you do right now. Today’s performance becomes tomorrow’s result.

So, focus on the present moment, which is a present from the Lord. Do all duties with gratitude as you are blessed with an opportunity to prove yourself.
