IT IS NEVER THE 'SAME'. LIFE IS NEW EVERY MOMENT

Every single happening in our
lives is unconnected, even our
everyday activities like eating
and drinking. Each and every
experience is independent by its
own right. Drinking water
yesterday and drinking water
today are two completely
different incidents. The food
that you ate yesterday and the
food that you eat today are
different, even if they seem
physically the same! But your
mind creates the shaft between
these two incidents and says, 'I
eat the same food every day
You don't eat the same food
every day. You may use the same
word 'eating' for both the
experiences, but they are not the
same experience. Do not be
cheated by the words that you
use. Yesterday's eating, today's
eating, and tomorrow's eating are
separate incidents, separate
experiences. They are completely
independent and unattached.

A beautiful incident from the life of an enlightened master from central India: During the last ten years of his life, the doctors asked the master to eat a particular kind of food. He was not allowed to eat anything else. He had to eat the same kind of food three times a day, everyday. After two years the person who cooked for him came and complained, 'Master, I am bored with cooking the same food.
How are you able to eat the
same food day after day?' The
master just laughed and said,
'I am not eating the same
food every day. How can I eat
the same food every day? I can
only eat this food today.
Tomorrow's food is totally
different!' Life is new every
moment. It is the mind that
makes it look repetitive, dull
and mundane.
GOALS
