Enjoy this moment.
Enjoy this moment. Be present for it. Life is nothing but a succession
of moments. If each is enjoyed, then life is enjoyed. Too often we live
for the future: for something that we so want to happen, that we forget
that even the enjoyment of that instant requires being fully present for
it. The past can fill us with regret because we cannot recapture
something we enjoyed. But that is also pointless. That past was once the
present, and was enjoyed because we were present for it. Enjoyment is
anyway merely pleasure of the senses and stroking of the ego. Both are
transient and by nature the senses get saturated on satiation, but they then also
desire again. Also the same sense object is pleasing in one circumstance
and not so in the other. One cannot get too swayed by either pleasure
or pain; happiness or sadness. Beyond the two is Bliss, ever present and
the source of joy and true love. Once samadhi is attained, one will love
all equally, regardless of their behavior towards you. It is only
natural.
