Focus and live in NOW

Both the teachings of yoga and buddhism emphasized on be present and focus in NOW, or living in the present moment, by letting go of the past and the future, focusing at what is here in the present moment, without attachment/identification/association or grasping, without craving or aversion, and without judgment or expectation.

Upon the mind realizes and understands towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in all kinds of names and forms, or attains direct realization towards the one same universal consciousness that is timeless, changeless, beginningless, endless, attributeless, nameless, and formless beyond all kinds of names and forms, then naturally and effortlessly, this mind will be living in NOW, resting upon the selfless universal consciousness, being aware of all these while not being determined or disturbed by all these, where it is free from being determined or disturbed by the past pleasant and unpleasant experiences, towards its own imperfection/limitation and/or other's imperfection/limitation, even if it's something existing/happening in the present moment NOW, not to say, something that existed/happened in the last moment, or in the last few seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years ago, and free from fear and worry towards the unknown or uncertainty, or the future that doesn't exist in NOW.

This mind is devoid of craving and aversion towards what it is experiencing in the present moment NOW, without attachment towards the existing pleasant and unpleasant experiences.

It is devoid of craving towards the past pleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of aversion towards the past unpleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of craving towards experiencing pleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of aversion towards experiencing unpleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

The past (experiences/happenings/events/affairs) cannot be undone.

The future is merely some imaginations/anticipations, that doesn't and cannot exist in NOW. 

It is always NOW. There is only NOW. And it is changing.

The mind that understands this, it will know that there is no 'previous life' and 'next life', or 'past many lives' and 'future many lives' of a permanent independent infinite individual self existence that doesn't exist.

There is only this selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary life existence of this selfless impermanent body and mind that is undergoing ceaseless changes, that also gives rise to ceaseless new beginning of a new life of this selfless impermanent body and mind, new opportunity, and new possibility in every moment, allowing the selfless mind to be learning/inquiring/understanding towards all these selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self manifestation, in NOW.

The countless lives of ceaseless births and deaths transitioning/reincarnating in different realms are merely the reflection of the impermanent changes of the impermanent condition of the body and the impermanent state of the mind in NOW, of countless selfless cells forming, growing, ceased growing, regenerating, new cells replacing old cells, and then decaying and disintegrating, until the entire selfless bodily structure ceased functioning and existing, where there is a continuous stream of the idea of 'I' ceaselessly arising and passing away (existence and ceased existence/birth and death of every single idea/thought/feeling/emotion, and ceaselessly changing in between arising and passing away/birth and death) in the modification of the mind, under different shapes/names/forms/conditions/qualities, transitioning under different states of mind (different realms within the selfless impermanent limited and conditional modification of the mind).

Reincarnations and realms are not something that exist outside this life, this body, and this mind, or something that exist somewhere else before the beginning of this life and after the end of this life, or in some other time and space and causation, or in some other existence in some other sphere/world/universe.

Ceaseless births and deaths of countless selfless cells and ceaseless reincarnations of the countless idea of 'I' transitioning in different realms exist in NOW, in this selfless body, in this selfless mind, that is constantly changing under different conditions and states.

The life of this selfless body and mind, is only in NOW, being maintaining in NOW, constantly changing in NOW, and decaying in NOW, until it ceased functioning and existing in NOW.

That is also why this momentary life existence under the presence of conscious mind awareness that enables conscious mind evolution, is extremely precious, even though it is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, momentary, and extremely fragile. Because it can cause constructive or destructive behavior. It can contribute peace or unrest into the surrounding environment.

What the mind thinks, acknowledges, recognizes, and identifies as what and who am 'I', or the idea of 'I' identifying as this and not that, only exists in NOW, it doesn't exist beyond NOW, or before and after NOW, and there is a continuous stream of countless idea of 'I' constantly arising, changing, and passing away - impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

A happy and calmed and contented 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An unhappy and agitated and discontented 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An angry violent suffering disturbed 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A peaceful and joyful 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A kind and generous and unselfish 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An evil and stingy and selfish 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A prideful jealous 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A shameful inferior low self-worth 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An arrogant superior 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A grieving sorrowful 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A hurtful destructive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A helpful constructive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An offensive and defensive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. And so on.

Endless idea of 'I' under different condition/quality/state/shape/name/form arising, changing, and passing away transitioning/inter-changing in different realms in NOW, between the realms or states of peaceful heaven (calmness and kindness/wisdom and compassion), sphere of aggressive violent Asura (violence, cruelty, jealousy, anger, and hatred), sphere of hungry ghost (discontentment, greed, possessiveness, selfishness, fear, and endless desire and craving), sphere of humanity (engagement in higher conscious evolution transcending basic survival instinct), sphere of animal (engagement in lower conscious evolution functioning under basic survival instinct), or painful suffering hell (ignorance and consequences of ignorance). All states are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary.

All kinds of reincarnations in different realms are ceaselessly manifesting/inter-changing in the selfless restless impure modification of the mind, until the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or complete Silence of the modification of the mind, takes place.

There is neither past continuous nor future continuous permanent independent infinite self existence of 'I'. 

There are only ceaseless momentary limited and conditional ideas of 'I' that keeps arising, changing, and passing away, that only exists in the form of thinking, or thought, or idea, in the selfless modification of the mind in NOW.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional body doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence of this body and mind doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

Non-self.

If it is 'I', 'I' should be able to have full control over 'I' (the thinking/the body/the mind/the life existence) to be exactly as how 'I' desire 'I' to be, but none of these is 'I', and none of these belong to 'I', as there is no permanent independent infinite individual self existence of 'I' in all these names and forms.

There is only the selfless timeless universal consciousness beyond all kinds of names and forms, that is undetermined, undisturbed, uncontaminated, unaffected, undamaged, or unhurt by the impermanent changes in all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary. 

All and everything in NOW is constantly changing under ceaseless activities or movements as well as under the function of memory (remembering the past) and imagination (projecting the future), generates the false impression of time, as well as the past (memories/younger/better or worst) and the future (imaginations/older/better or worst).

Live in NOW.

There is no fear and worry.

There is no anger and hatred.

There is no hurt and resentment.

There are only countless new beginnings, new opportunities, and new possibilities following each thought/feeling/emotion/understanding/experience or state of mind arising, changing, and passing away, for this selfless impermanent body and mind to be learning/inquiring/understanding/independent, or not, to be wise or ignorant, to be doing something constructive or destructive, that give rise to respective consequences of actions.

Make good use of this selfless impermanent life existence to benefit all and everyone, when the body and mind is still existing and functioning, when the conscious selfless awareness, conscious selfless evolution, and conscious selfless actions are still available and possible.

The mind will realize all these, upon the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or upon Silence of the restless mind, takes place.

Purify. Meditate. Inquire. Realize.

Inquire the truth of everything. Attain direct self realization.

Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, or blind propagating anything from anyone, from anywhere and everywhere, including all that is here.

About Yoga

Know thyself. Everything is impermanent and selfless. There is no 'I'. There is no 'I am selfless'/'I am not selfless'. There is no 'I am hurt'/'I need to be healed from hurt'. Non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing and non-blind propagating, but be open-minded to inquire the truth of everything. Be free. Be peaceful. Be happy.
