Letting the past go

Do not go after the past,

Nor lose yourself in the future. For the past no longer exists, And the future is not yet here.

By looking deeply at things just as they are, in this moment, here and now, the seeker lives calmly and freely. You should pay attentive to what is really going on today, for waiting until tomorrow is too late.

The one who knows how to live calmly and attentively night and day is the one who knows the best way to be independent.
