I reproduce here an article about spending to live the current life should be primary. Saving to live a futuristic life is secondary, after fulfilling the current life.

"We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between a causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present.  Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality." "Time is a social institution and not a physical reality. There is no such thing as time in the natural world - the world of stars and waters, clouds, mountains and living organisms. There is such a thing as rhythm - rhythm of tides, rhythm of biological processes... There is rhythm and there is motion. Time is a way of measuring motion". "If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death - or shall I say, death implies life - you ca

What we call health, joy and well-being are different levels of pleasantness - to keep the body in a pleasant state, to keep our mind in a pleasant state, to have pleasant emotions and to transform our energy into a pleasant process. Pleasantness is not the ultimate goal of life. But if you don't feel pleasant within yourself it'll be very hard even to be good. So a whole lot of people struggle with their goodness simply because there is no pleasantness of body, mind, emotion and energy. So even doing small tasks that they think are good comes with great Diff levels of being pleasantdifficulty.  If goodness has to be a seamless effortless process, the most fundamental thing is that you establish your body, mind, emotion and energy in absolute pleasantness or a constant state of pleasantness.  If you

The weaver has woven a cloth, And calls it the world; But is deceived about this world, B'cas the world is like a mirage of a desert.  With the mind, as a thief, steals the wealth of the soul; Only to be imprisoned in a world, by keeping the soul in chains.

இதுவும் கடந்து போகும் ஆம், வாழ்வில் நாம் சந்திக்க நேரிடும் எல்லா சூழ்நிலையிலும், இந்த வார்த்தைகளை மனதில் நிறுத்துங்கள்.  “இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்” ஒரு ஊரில் மக்கள் மத்தியில் புத்தர் பேசத் தொடங்கினார். ஒரு குரல் அவர் பேசுவதை இடைமறித்தது. தொடர்ந்து புத்தரை நோக்கி, “புத்தரே, நாங்கள் உங்களைப் போன்ற எத்தனையோ ஞானிகளைச் சந்தித்தும், அவர்களது பிரசங்கங்களை கேட்டும் விட்டோம். ஆனால் எங்களுக்கு எவ்வித நன்மையும் ஏற்படவில்லை.  இப்போதும் எங்களுக்கு பிரச்சனை இருக்கிறது. எங்களுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல. இவ்வுலகில் உள்ள அனைவருக்குமே ஏதாவது ஒரு பிரச்சனை இருந்து கொண்டே தான் இருக்கிறது.  அதனால் எல்லோருடைய சிக்கலும் தீரும்படியாக, அனைத்து மனிதர்களுடைய வாழ்விலும் பிரகாசம் தெரியும்படி மந்திரங்களைச் சொல்லித் தாருங்கள்.   தேவையற்ற பிரசங்கம் வேண்டாம். நாங்கள் மனப்பாடம் செய்து எல்லோருக்கும் சொல்லத்தக்க அளவில் சிறியதாக இருக்க வேண்டும். நாங்கள் அனைவரும் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளும் படியான மந்திரத்தைச் சொல்லுங்கள். உங்களைக் குருவாக ஏற்றுக்கொள்கிறோம்” என்றனர். மௌனமாக சிரித்த புத்தர், இதோ அந்த மந்திரம்...  "இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்” என்று அழு

Animals are very connected to the earth because they do not have the intellect and awareness that human beings have.  When it comes to humans, our psychological space dominates over their existential presence.  In a way, an earthworm experientially knows the connection to the earth, but it cannot consciously realize it. If you pull it out of the earth, it wants to go straight back into the earth. If you pull a fish out of the water, it wants to go straight back into the water. This is not only essential for survival but also just because of the familiarity of habitat.  In that sense, they know the connection. But they are not capable of being aware of it when they are in the earth or the water, respectively. Most human beings are in the same state.  Yet, the nature has evolved us to a diff' level of intelligence & awareness. We cannot live without air, water, or earth. If someone tries to take any one of them away from us, we will desperately want to get it back.  In that sense
