Acharya Mahaprajna
Breathing is neither imagination nor a mere appearance; it is true and real. Perception of breath is perception of truth and practice of living in the present, because one is aware of the breath at the same instant as it happens, neither before nor after. This is exactly what is meant by living in the present moment - be fully aware of the present moment when we are fully aware of the present moment alone, our operational efficiency increases manifold.
