Attending to the Here and NowA Dhamma talk given at the Spirit Rock retreat on July 3rd, 2005Ajahn SumedhoApril 3, 2006When we’re thinking, planning, dreading, anticipating, hoping, expecting something in the future, this is all taking place in the here and now, isn’t it? These are mental states we’re creating in the present. What is the future? What is the past? There’s only now, this present moment. We may then wonder, What is it that knows? We always want to define the subject. Is that the real me? Is that my true self? This subjectivity and questioning and wanting to find some identity is also a creation in the now. If we trust in the silence, there’s nobody. We can’t find anybody in the sound of silence. The whole problem ceases. |
