Reality is; it knows no becoming, it is being

     Reality is; it knows no becoming, it is being. It knows no future; it is already here, you have just to see it -- and once you ca see it, all worry, all anxiety disappears. Then you stop  trying, pulling yourself up by your shoestrings. Then you simply relax. Then, there is no tenon. then rather, you start delighting, you start being blissful as you are.


.....


     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.
