Do you really yearn to be enlightened? Well here is the formula. Forget about the past, and do not think about the future. That is it! It is really that simple. The present moment, is the only point in time, you will ever have a chance of entering the kingdom of heaven. You will not be allowed to bring any baggage with you, because the present moment is such a fine, tight line and such a narrow path, that you must be spiritually and psychologically thin to enter. Do not worry about going to monasteries for weeks on end to be in silence. Forget about those long sessions of yoga. Forget about going to church every week. All these things will make no difference in your quest for enlightenment. The present moment is the only key there is. You must enter the gap. It is a moment by moment decision that you must make, until one day, you will be engulfed in the present moment totally. The past and the future will fall away, like chains attached to your legs.
