BE IN THE PRESENT🔗

Ramakrishna says beautifully, 'If you put a little curd into milk and keep it in a corner for two to three hours, it will become curd. Then, you can churn or shake the curd. You will have only butter; nothing will go wrong with it. But immediately after putting the curd into the milk, if you keep on churning it, you will never have the whole thing as curd; the curd will never happen.' Now understand that for these few days, you need to keep your outside world connections away from your inner space so that the curd can form. Once the curd has happened, you can go back into the world. Then, anything may be done to you; nothing will shake you. But in these few days when the process is happening, please cooperate. We will be working intensely here.

Even if you try to get some information from your home or office, whether it is good or bad information, the problem is, your whole office mental setup or home mental setup will come back to you. And in just ten minutes, you will come down and become like how you were earlier. It is like this, even if you see a single encounter on the street, it is enough to create a chain of thoughts in you, is it not? So, please understand, in the next few days, even though it is a little difficult, try to avoid cell phone conversations. Avoid even the incessant mental chatter, the mental thoughts about your office, house, etc.

Whenever you remember this instruction, quickly bring your mind and consciousness back to the present moment. You can watch your breath or you can feel your whole body in order to bring yourself to the present moment. Continuously, come back to the present moment, just for these few days.
