Awareness of the present moment is essential from "summary" of Be As You Are by Sri Ramana Maharshi
The importance of being aware of the present moment cannot be overstated. In fact, it is essential for true self-realization. When we are fully present in the moment, we are able to let go of the past and the future, and simply be. By being fully present, we are able to see things as they truly are, without the distortion of our thoughts and emotions. We are able to see the truth of our existence, and the true nature of reality. When we are not present in the moment, we are caught up in our thoughts and emotions, which can lead to suffering and confusion. We are constantly looking to the past or the future for happiness, when true happiness can only be found in the present moment. Being aware of the present moment allows us to connect with our true self, which is beyond the limitations of the ego. It allows us to experience the peace and joy that are inherent in our true nature. The present moment is all there is, and by being fully present in each moment, we are able to experience the fullness of life. We are able to see the beauty and wonder that is all around us, and to appreciate the gift of each moment. In order to be truly alive, we must be fully present in each moment. This is the key to living a fulfilling and meaningful life. By cultivating awareness of the present moment, we are able to live with greater clarity, purpose, and joy.
