Arjuna, Immerse Your Mind In Me And I Will Uplift You From The Ocean Of Recurring Death . If You Cannot
Arjuna, immerse your mind in me and I will uplift you from the ocean of recurring death . If you cannot do that, then practise yoga and work on your mind. If you cannot do that, then do your work as if it is my work. If you cannot do that, then make yourself my instrument and do as I say. If you cannot do that, then simply do your job and leave the results to me.
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 12, verses 6 to 11 (paraphrased)

You are what your deep, driving desire is As your desire is, so is your will As your will is, so is your deed As your deed is, so is your destiny
Upanishads | बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद | Verse 5
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.
Alan Watts
