15. Create Eternity In You

There is a simple method to create a different space or eternity.

Let us first understand what we mean by different space. We all have headaches connected to the outer world and heart aches connected to the inner world. In our daily interactions, we usually mix or bring what happens in the outer world into the inner world.

For example, we meet an old friend who is now rich and well to do. He wears the best clothes and drives a Mercedes Benz. We think, 'It is better this friend does not meet my mother or wife. I will look like a loser in front of him.' Understand! The friend is in the outer world. By comparing ourselves with the friend we are internalizing the situation. Similarly, we bring many things from the outer world into the inner world.

There is another way in which we usually live. If we sit quiet for five minutes and watch our mind, we will be shocked to see how it races. It races from the future to the past. It connects unconnected events of the past and present. It seems to be making a series of permutations and combinations. Some of these combinations grip our emotions or imagination.

This wandering mind creates confusion, dilemma and pain. There is a way, a simple way, out of it all. Please try it with utmost sincerity for three days. For three days, simply fall into the present moment. Accept and relax into the headaches of the outer world and the heartaches of the inner world. In just three days, we will experience such ecstasy, we will see such a different space in us and we will live a different life. In this process, let us not try to alter anybody or anything in the outer world.

If we cannot be sincere, accept it. Even the acceptance that we are unable to drop from the rut of being pulled between the past and the future will bring us to the present moment. When we fall in the present moment, a different space, Nithya (eternity) is created in us. The moment we fall into Nithya, time becomes our servant.

The moment our consciousness is raised to the present moment, we will see that we are penetrating the time shaft. Tremendous realization comes to us when we realize

that the time shaft is only our projection!

Everybody can create Nithya. Live in the moment. Experience it completely without labeling it or moving into the past or present.
