When talking of life, we can say that ‘life is all about moment and decisiveness’. We witness that life goes from moment to moment, and the future moves into the past, or we can say the future becomes the past. And we end up not doing many things because of our indecisiveness.
Now, if you want to be happy, ‘when is the opportunity? It is now, now and now. Even if you live a hundred years, you will not be able to live two moments together, only one moment at a time; that is now, and now and now. And to make your moment to be happy, you need to be firm in your decision or resolve.
Ok, it is not only about happiness; even if you are worrying, you are worried about the future, but when do you do that worrying? Now and now. And to avail the moment, what needs to be done? You need to be decisive.
If you are becoming angry, that is because of taking the past into account or because of the past. But the question is, when do you do it? Now. And be firmly decisive at the moment not to.
Happiness is also now, worrying is also now, and getting angry is also now. Are you listening? (Keep clicking your fingers) and be firm in decision, firm in decision and firm in decision.
A nursery rhyme that should be made to hear in big corporate houses. (in musical rhythm) “the time to be happy is now, and the place to be happy is here, and the way to be happy is by making someone happy and have a little heaven right here”.
See how simple it is! But we keep postponing it. Firmly resolve to do it.
Do you know what we generally say? “If I get it, I will be happy, then say ‘if I get divorced from him or her I will be happy, once I reach there I will be happy. If you get it, it is dust, and if you have lost it or got rid of it, it is gold. Honestly speaking, it is like that.
You are living by postponing and postponing your happiness. By postponing your decisions. Say, for example, you are trying to stop smoking, drinking alcohol or eating meat. What will one say? Next month, or next week, or tomorrow, I will stop eating meat, smoking, or drinking. But when the moment of the next day comes, the next day is still 24 hrs away, the next week is still seven days away, and the following month is still 30 days away. The moment still remains in the future realm, and many moments have become the past. Why? Because of no firm decision.
Some of you might say that I will not get angry with others from next month, next week, or the next day. Alas, the story is again the same. The day, the week, and the month keep postponing into the future, and many a day, week and month have gone into the oblivion of the past.
Nijanand Order ordains that regular ‘chitwani’ is essential or a must and is inescapable or is unavoidable. We will say yes, from next month, next week or the next day we will do it. But that month, week or day never seems to come, even though many have passed into the past.
You know that you say you will be happy if you get that. But when that happens only, you will get happiness – that means only when that moment comes now. But why wait for it? It can happen now, and you can awaken the enthusiasm, you can awaken love, and you can celebrate life now.
The essence of all that is said is “let us be happy now”, which is a requirement for life. You can keep doing this by making things happen at this very moment and with a firm decision or strong decisiveness.
