You Can't Get There From Here

As I am reading this article written by Pema Chodran, I remember the words of wisdom by J.Krishnamurti " choiceless awareness" and "Be Here Now" by Ramdass. Our mind has a tendency of wandering from past to future. It is focused and remains focused on the present when I am deeply engrossed in doing what I am doing. My mind is open and centered on the present moment.

I love the way Pema Chodran offers three guidelines, the three-fold purity for being here and now.

1. Observe what is happening nonjudgmentally without expectations.
2. Don't make your meditation a project or a special event.
3. Be fully here and now. This is the only dance there is.

I daily practice Mindful Meditation and practice Mindfulness Living. I let myself be fully present without being bound by my expectations. This is liberating my self from my self by myself. Practicing meditation regularly and living mindfully helps me living peacefully and freely. Light of awareness guides me for remaining fully present where I am. Reading and reflecting on such articles helps me walk steadily in the journey of my life.
