.....
It is very difficult to drop tomorrow's dream because then suddenly you become aware of the misery that is here today. But remember, the misery is created by yesterday's dream. It has nothing to do with today. Yesterday's dream has created the misery today; tomorrow's dream will create misery again. So when you drop tomorrow's dream, you will not suddenly become happy, because yesterday's dream will still linger on. you have sown the seeds -- who is going to cut the crop? But half is done when you drop tomorrow's dream. Yesterday's dream, its frustration, has to be passed through, that's what in India we call tapas, austerity. "Yesterday's dream was my dream. I have sown it. so i have to go through the suffering. I have to pass through the frustration. I accept it; it is my own doing. Nobody else is responsible, but now I am not going to sow any more seeds."
First drop tomorrow's dream. then by and by yesterdays dream and its hang-ups and hangovers disappear. Then a man becomes aware. When your eyes are not full of dreams, your eyes are full of awareness.
