The daily practice of contemplation and or meditation keeps me in the present and acts as a catalyst to either jog my memory of what's really essential or prevents me from that state of unconscious state, where I'm hanging on to the past or projecting into the future.

The last one said:<br />We concentrate because we want to reach the Goal. We meditate because we want to live in the heart of the Goal. We contemplate because we want to become the Goal.thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948441046758510841.post-25716082594270942142016-01-03T02:23:00.750-05:002016-01-03T02:23:00.750-05:00That quote from Sri Chinmoy gives me a lot of food...That quote from Sri Chinmoy gives me a lot of food for thought (I'm in the process of writing an essay, one aspect of which is the importance of concentration and meditation).
