THE MOMENT NOW IS DOING NOTHING - YET EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED

Life goes on changing; it flows and grows in every moment of now. Life is not the problem; it is the knowledge you have regarding life that is the problem. Knowledge is always the same; it does not evolve with life. 

Are you stuck in the past? People are creating problems out of nothing; they are struggling, wrestling and fighting with life, seeing it as being difficult and a big job to accomplish. They do this because they see their life as being meaningless. The ego-mind doesn’t want anything small, so even tension has to be on a large scale. The problems you have created are also not enough; you will actually start thinking of the problems of the world, of humanity and the future. The question is, ‘are you acting from the moment of now, or just reacting to the knowledge’? If so, you are missing out on your real life. Watch your daily activities. When you are sitting in a room and doing nothing, pay attention to how your mind will immediately become uncomfortable, restless, and not at ease. The mind becomes dis-eased. By doing nothing; just resting and relaxing, your being will yearn to wake up. The mind, however, will try to stop this from happening. Before it’s too late, wake up! You might watch yourself turning on the TV and watching something that is stupid, dull, irrelevant, or a waste of time. You might watch something you’ve watched many times before, or you might find yourself reading the same article in a newspaper you’ve read before, or you might start fantasizing and creating dreams of a luxurious life you will have once you’ve won the lottery. Watch your patterns and don’t identify with them. 

Life is not predictable; it is a mystery to be lived and enjoyed. Doing nothing is revealing the mystery in your life, and being conscious of your unconscious activities and patterns will bring joy to you for no reason. There is nothing in existence that is the same. Everything is evolving and expanding in the moment now. Not to be in the moment now is to be in an uncomfortable and restless ego-mind position of doing. The moment now is doing nothing, yet everything is accomplished. This moment of now is the right time to drop all of the old patterns and start living your life in a natural flowing state, a nonrepressive way. Knowledge cannot hold the immensity of existence. If you force existence into your patterns of knowledge, you will destroy the beauty of your being. To be the life, you will have to drop all avenues of protection. Problems are giving you a protection against experiencing the joys in life. Then you will say, “How can ‘I’ enjoy life when I am surrounded by so many problems”? Ask yourself, “why do ‘I’ need these problems in my life anyway? Who is creating the problems? Who is the problem?” Mind is not the problem, your attachment to the mind is. The moment now is perfect. You can be reborn at this moment, with awareness. The mind is imperfect. When you become aware of that imperfection and accept it unconditionally, the problems will disappear, along with the its ego. The inner sky will clear of clouds and the consciousness will give light to the moment of now; doing nothing, yet accomplishing everything in life.
