Acharya Tulsi
The present is the debtor of the past and the future is the storehouse of possibilities. Whatever desirable or undesirable happens in present, cast its shadow on generations to come. Man lives in present. He enjoys fruits of the past. The lessons that the past gives, makes him richer in experience. The hope for future inspires him to think creatively and perform something new. All these things can happen in the life of those who are alive to their present, One who makes best use of the present, attains greatness. Bhagwan Mahaveer said खणं जानाहि realizes the value of the moment that is before you. To realize the value of time and act right at the right moment is the secret of success in life. Men good at this art do not fall short of time.
There are twenty-four hours in a day. No one has more hours than that in his life. An engineer, a scientist, an artist, a social worker, a trader, whosoever he may be, success comes to him who makes proper use of these fixed twenty-four hours at his or her hand. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the amount of time that is available to us. The wrong is with our inability of making proper utilization of this available amount of time. How can a man, who takes up many jobs simultaneously and fail to monitor even a single job, get success? There is a method to handle a job. Fickle mind and disorganized way of doing a thing cause-, wastage of time and give inadequate of result.
Faster is the life of a man of the machine age. He is able to complete job of a year in months and similarly jobs of a month in days, a day’s job in hours and an hour’s job in seconds. In spite of considerable advancement in technology and large-scale deployment of scientific equipment’s, man’s restlessness is growing. Neither he has fixed time for taking meal nor has he sufficient time to sleep. Since he is unable to manage his time, he develops tension. Tension is a major health hazard of this age. In order to get rid of this hazard man should try to live in present and utilize every moment he has at his disposal.
