Present is Parmatma & Meditation

Mind dosent allow to live in Present ... it makes u live in past or future.

And past and future is like a gate in ur house which is closed and doesnt allow God to enter inside. We never say God was, or God will... God is always in present.

"God is" is also not correct. "God isness" is right

OSHO told a story of a blind man. He is in a Bhawan with 1000 doors with one door opened. He start knocking all the doors one by one. But when he reach the open door, he gets lazy ... so miss the open gate.

This open door is Present. We keep missing the open gate i.e. Present. To be in present is standing in front of Gate.

To have you Mind in present is Meditation. But why do we get distracted fron present. The reason is Desire. Because desire always look for future.

There are 2 things:
1. Anger is created when are proud of what you have achieved in past. We have collected this in past few decades. Desire which is fulfilled is proud.
2. Desire is with respect is future... to achieve something

Old people keep moving with their proudy heads (they are past centered as they have travelled a journey of proud .. fulfilling their past desires .. thats why old people get chirchira, gussa aa jata hai).... Young people are future centered... they want to conquer the world

Desire will always lead to proud.

So when a person achieve money, fame, he want to achieve God. That is also a desire. At this stage ... desire dosnt work.

If you reach a state where you are in present .. you will with Parmatma .. God. You just need to experience a second of "present" to feel God. A person who has been living in a dark room for 1000 years or 1 year can take the same time to be in present. To be in present is not a function of past ignorance.

Ignorance of any time, any size is only ignorance.

Excercise: Sit for half an hour in present - allow a leaf to fall from a tree ... let it surrender, let the smell come ... let the extrenal things keep going. Allow any feeling, any thought to flow in your mind ... dont think of good or bad, dont interpret things ... dont do any thing .. aa raha aane de .. dont involve yourself. It will be difficult (we have an habit of involving oursevelves)- thoughts will be there, let them flow ...

OSHO gave a perfect analogy. The above state is something like watching a movie in a theatre, but not interpreting anything, allow whatever is happening on the stage ... Kante and Flowers are not different ... dont differentiate them.

When you will involve youself like this, one day you will see a gap of emptyness between one thought and the other. With time emptyness will increase .. gap will increase. In this state you will be in touch with Parmatma ... because you will be in present. To be in present is to be thoughtless.

And the day, there is no thought and perfect state of emptyness ... then there is "Milan" with the Almighty. There will be Bhagwat prapti. But remember you cannot achieve it ... it will just happen ... You just have to surrender. When you dont do anything ... you will get surrendered.
