Switch to present moment


#MyTakeaway 

Anger is not bad. Sometimes it's needed. It's bad only if you keep holding onto it. Similarly reliving a joyous moment brings a smile on our face. But if we keep holding onto it, it will lead to regret. Then we slowly come up with the language, 'Gone are those happy days'. So whether positive or negative, if we keep holding onto any event, any emotion, any memory, its bound to lead us to misery.

Good idea to remember a flowing river. Nothing stays at one place. Last moment I was angry, right now I need to switch to present moment. Reminding this one simple line that Gurudev has given us, we gain the ability to let go. Otherwise our present moment will always be polluted. We will never be able to experience the present moment in its pure form. Not being able to let go is one of the most important reasons for Insomnia.

Gurudev once mentioned, when you hold your fist tightly, you get nothing in your hands. But if you let go, the entire sky is on your palms. 

So keep reminding yourself. Nothing at all in this world is worth holding onto. For your own peace of mind. 

Jai Gurudev!
