One would wonder and question my Title.I relished a book and wish to share the gist of it to my i-land friends.I combine my experience too with it.

Its the essence of living.What could be a present worth giving by a person to himself?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If suppose, I  credit your account with unlimited money with a condition that you should debit it the same moment, then it is left to you to decide its spending.

Similar is the treasure called TIME.

The best way to live is "to be in the present always".

Most of us miss this and get caught in a trap.We often cherish  happier  moments of our past/get involved in self pity for our past sufferings.  Or else, we live in dreams &  aspirations; We neglect the present in order to achieve something in future. Our aspirations are at the cost of present moment.Very rare, we enjoy the present moment.This remains a rootcause for all our troubles.

To cite an example, be it Tea time/chat with a friend/work place/loss of dear ones/ gala time...., if we live that moment without thinking of past/future(of varying timescale ranging from microseconds to years), then our efficiency increases and sustains.To explain it further, if suppose we get a chance to meet  and speak with a person  for a while, its a limited time.However, the fullest utility of time can be made in reaching the person, provided we speak from the heart to him with no other thoughts in mind.

Be it happy / sad present, it has to be fully lived and get saturated.only then, it allows us to live oncoming present.

Very easy to suggest this "present", but in reality , very hard to practise.Even then,an attempt to dare this experience is exhilarating.Do you?
