Stay grounded in the present moment to find inner peace from "summary" of Yatharth Geeta English by Swami Adgadanand
The key to finding inner peace lies in staying rooted in the present moment. When our mind is constantly dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, we lose touch with the reality of the here and now. This disconnect from the present moment is what breeds feelings of anxiety, stress, and discontent. By learning to anchor ourselves in the present moment, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace that transcends external circumstances. When we are fully present in the now, we are able to see things as they are, without the distortion of past regrets or future anxieties. This clarity of perception allows us to respond to life's challenges with equanimity and wisdom. The present moment is where our true power lies. It is the only moment in which we can take action, make choices, and create change. When we are anchored in the present, we can harness this power to shape our lives in a way that aligns with our deepest values and aspirations. This sense of alignment is what brings about a profound sense of inner peace and fulfillment. Moreover, staying grounded in the present moment allows us to fully experience the richness of life. When we are truly present, we can savor the simple joys of everyday existence – the warmth of the sun on our skin, the laughter of loved ones, the beauty of nature. In these moments of presence, we find a deep sense of gratitude and contentment that transcends the fluctuations of external circumstances.- The practice of staying grounded in the present moment is a powerful tool for cultivating inner peace and fulfillment. By anchoring ourselves in the now, we can access our true power, experience life's richness, and respond to challenges with wisdom and equanimity. This practice is not merely a temporary escape from the stressors of life but a profound shift in perspective that allows us to live with greater presence, purpose, and peace.
