“When associating with others or when carried away by the thoughts of the past or of the future, it is difficult to realize that your life is right now, in the present moment. But how important and precious it is to remember this. Try to train yourself to do so.”“They say man is not free because everything he does has its own cause preceding it in time. But man always acts in the present, and the present is beyond time, it is merely the point of contact between the past and the future. Therefore in the moment of the present man is always free. The divine force of life manifests itself only in the present; therefore the activities of the present must have divine characteristics, that is, must be rational and good.”“The paramount thing in life is love. And you cannot love in the past or in the future. You can love only in the present, now, this instant. Only when you are not guided in your actions by the past or by the future, but by the commands of your soul in the present, can you act in full harmony with love.”“Love is the manifestation of the divine principle for which there can be no time, and therefore love manifests itself only in the present, now, this instant. Do not think of the future, but endeavor right now to make life joyful to yourself and to others. ‘Let the tomorrow take care of itself.’ This is a great truth. It makes life worthwhile not to know what is needful for the future. Only one thing is surely needful and is always worthwhile — to love others at the present moment.” “Never postpone a good deed if you can do it today, for death cannot stop to examine whether you have or have not done what you ought. Death waits for no man, waits for nothing. Therefore the most important thing for man is that which he is doing at the present moment.” “Life now, at the present moment, this is the state in which God dwells within us. And therefore the present moment is the most precious of all. Make use of all the forces of your soul so that this moment pass not in vain, so that you may not miss God who can be manifested in you.”
