Be Consistent

Why can't we take every moment as it is? Why do we need to link the moment to the past and future and draw conclusions? Why is the mind looking for consistency in everything that it sees? And when it fails to see, why does it find it difficult to digest? This is because, you are always looking to frame things with the help of your mental makeup, with the help of your stored engrams; and when you can't, you get worried.

Have you seen me worrying any time? How many of you have asked me how I am able to be cheerful and unperturbed at all times? Let me tell you: The reason is, I simply live in the moment, that's all. I don't carry the past as a reference in my mind. I don't burden my mind with these kinds of references. I act from spontaneity, not from patterns.

I am like a river that flows. Many of you who have accompanied me, would have seen the river Ganges flow in the Himalayas. It is so beautiful. It appears serene at certain places, turbulent at other places, crystal clear at times and murky at other times. 'Where' a person encounters it, that will be the experience he gets from it.

Can two people who encountered it ever compare notes and complain? How foolish it would be! The river simply flows to the music of Existence, that's all! It has no plan. I am like the Ganges. I flow without a plan, just spontaneously, without a worry. Existence is the master planner.
