Buddha's simple definition of enlightenment as “the end of suffering.”

Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally

Even if the voice is relevant to the situation at hand, it will interpret it in terms of the past

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.

Enlightenment means rising above thought

Compulsive thinking has become a collective disease. Your whole sense of who you are is then derived from mind activity.

Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down.

How to stop creating time? Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life

The more you are focused on time past and future the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is
