' The Eternal Now '...


The illumined mind must live in the eternal Now, which is not the same as the temporal Present.

Because it is beyond the reach of events the Now is saturated with Peace.

Because it is forever drifting on the surface of events the Present is agitated with change.

Each of us can learn to live in the happy presence of this peace if he will prepare the way by (stoically) disciplining the thoughts he brings into every moment.

He alone is responsible for them, he alone must have the hardihood to reject every one that reduces his stature to the little, time-bound, desire-filled ego.
