Each fleeting and ephemeral moment of time continues successively and expands into days, months and years. However, when one’s mind roots itself into the here-and-now, one can experience the simple beauty of freedom amidst the ever-whirling world which rolls endlessly into the infinity of space.
Within the realm of my inner experience, past and future are mere phenomena of successive rising and falling flows of conditional formations. They are states which rise up and finish in themselves just right there in every present moment. Thus, they are without any substance.
With the power of mindfulness and clear comprehension, you will be able to feel and dwell in this freedom. This experience will be the same no matter Who you are or where you are in this infinite universe…..
