Past, Present and Future

There is a saying: The Past is Dead, The Future is Uncertain, The Present is All You Have and it is a Gift...that is why it is called the Present...lovely thought, isn't it? But our fascination continues not so much with the present though we can do everything with it, but the future - where are we going, what will we become - and just as much with the past - where have we come from, what we were, and so on...

This fascination with the past is not mere daydreaming, but a tangible journey, and one that holds the keys to the present and the future.

Karma does not mean destiny but our action. If we do good in our present, which soon becomes our past, we reap the rewards in the future. If we do bad, we face the music - the wheel of karma keeps rolling. Both situations we call our destiny.

Past... it is so fascinating to go Back to the Past and find out what we were, where we lived, which country we belong to, who were our family, and so on. The most romantic thing someone has ever said to me has been that he wanted to visit my past life. Were we kings and queens, or were we ordinary mortals? Were we rich or did we have a colorful life? This obsession with the past can be dealt with, and we can indeed recall our past.

Soo...... What really matters in the end is, “How well did you love; how fully did you live and how deeply did you let go?"
