There is only Today

Posted by Suman on Jul 06, 2020

I will start with a simple Truth.

There is only Today.

There is no tomorrow.

Yes, you may have heard this as a "catchphrase".

But what you do not realize, is the power when one viscerally arrives at this.

I will expand on it a little to show you what that entails.

What you think is "tomorrow", is an illusion.

In reality, "tomorrow" is the same entity as "the rest of your life".

For come tomorrow, you will not realize the day tomorrow,

but stay stuck in verbalizing "today", "tomorrow", and other Mind blabber.

Do you see how deep the tethers of the Mind are?

So when you are constantly putting things for tomorrow or later,

you are putting them off for the rest of your life.

For you get stuck in the rut of "putting things off".

And the nature of the Mind is such that,

the most urgent things are the ones that get put off.

You must re-visit the phrase "most urgent" over and over until the crux of it is revealed.

For there may be something you will want to be "most urgent",

while the MOST URGENT thing WILL be most urgent independent of you insisting it to be otherwise.

Such is the nature of Truth.

Contrarily, if you are looking forward to tomorrow,

you are looking forward to an illusion AND you are missing today.

Tomorrow, you will repeat the same behavior -

You will look forward to an illusion ("tomorrow")

AND

miss the actual day (and the moments of) - tomorrow.


A deeper Truth surfaces from all of this.

It is this ...

What you will do Today,

is what you will do tomorrow,

and following the reasoning above,

for the rest of your life.

This Truth is even more powerful than the previous one, for it is deeper.

Stay with this for more than just a while.

Let that sink in.

If you are trying to beat an addiction today,

you will be addicted for the rest of your life.

If you are fighting with or consoling your partner or kid today,

you will not understand who he or she really is for the rest of your life.

If you are too caught up in your business or company,

it will have you in its grips for the rest of your life.

If you rely on technique and cues for your sport or some other hobby,

they will be your crutches for the rest of your life.

If you are viscerally unfulfilled today,

you will be unfulfilled for the rest of your life.


There is a related Truth that can be uncovered.

This will complement and finish the picture of all that has been stated so far.

It is this...

NO MATTER your situation

you are either headed towards Truth

or you are getting farther away from it.

So as of this very moment,

whoever has their eyes on these words is either ...

spending their days getting closer to the Truth of their being

OR

getting farther and farther away from realizing "all things great" in their life.

And they will be in that state,

for the REST of their life.

Thank you.
