Living in The Now is a popular concept among New Age people and also among people who are
spiritual at least in the West. It’s a very important concept. But the problem is no one
precisely knows what is meant by The Now and how to live it. Now is stopping all movement.
Now is Time, and Time is movement. And stopping Time, stopping movement is to be in The Now.
That’s how Now can be understood precisely. There is a tremendous amount of benefit if
you are able to stop Time, stop the movement, then you are in The Now. And once you are
in The Now, then you can deal with all of the problems. The problems of the body, the
problems of the mind, the problems of relationship, the problems of money, all of these can be
handled. I have been contemplating on this for quite some
time, and now I have crystalized my ideas. And then I have come up with a new word, or I have
coined this word: Now-ization. If you are able to Now-ize the body, Now-ize the
mind, and Now-ize relationship, and I will explain to you what I mean by Now-izing
the mind, Now-izing the body, and Now-izing relationship. Precisely and simply put, it
means to stay in The Now as far as the mind is concerned, as far as the body is concerned,
and as far as relationship is concerned. In this video clip, I will talk about Now-ization
as it relates to the mind. How can you stay in the mind, or in The Now as far as
the mind is concerned. How can you stay in The Now, because The Now eludes you.
The Now is certainly not the Present, as we understand the Present to be. The Present
is presently what you are doing, you know, “I am working for a company”. That is
not the Present. Now brings in the real Present. The real Present is not subjected
to Time, it is an eternal Present. That Present is beyond the mind, that’s why you have
to stop the mind. Now how do you do that? You simply do it through a number of techniques.
The Yogis have their own techniques, the Siddhas have their own techniques, and I have come
up with my own techniques. So I want to put together all of them in one place, and create
a course so that people will understand what it really means to be in The Now
as far as the mind is concerned, and then how you can take advantage of being in The Now, as far as the mind is concerned
when the mind is in The Now. Now in this clip, I want to give you a taste
of what the course is going to be. Simply put, I am going to give you a mantra to help
the mind to stay in The Now. And that’s very important; so whatever I have said now
is only just Blah Blah. I’m going to give you a mantra, a mantra to stop the
mind, so that you can be in The Now. That’s one thing. There are a lot of other
things that I want to do in that Presentation, the longer Presentation, which probably I
will do in mid-May, or so. Now let me come to the mantra. The mantra
to stop the mind from the Yogic Tradition comes from Patanjali. It is my application
of Patanjali to the study of Now as far as the mind is concerned. The sounds:
“Chitt”, Vritt” can stop the mind. Close your eyes, and experience.
Just say the sound, 'Chitt,' and then the sound, 'Vritt'
Close your eyes, and then feel the tongue touching the palate,
[Chants] Chitt, Vritt You should focus on the sound, “itt”, ”itt”
Now you can open your eyes.
Patanjali uses it in his first technique of stopping the mind, “Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodhah”,
“Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodhah”. Patanjali is a very conscious individual.
Every syllable that he uses, he knows why he is using it and what it is going to do.
So you can stop the mind and be in The Now, if you do this technique. And then I will
have a few other techniques from other Traditions. From the Siddha Tradition, who want to stop
the breath, and through by stopping breath, how to be in The Now, and what happens to
the mind, what states of consciousness you will acquire, all will be dealt with in that
longer program. I am very excited to teach this. I am not
usually excited to teach, but then I have something really valuable to give it to you.
So look forward to the course. God Bless.
