In almost every get together during university life group of us friend often used to debate on esoteric topics , one day while sitting in the middle of profuse sport ground the debate turn toward entrancing topic of love and intellect. almost all of my friend put their Weight behind love but I was alone in the favoring of intellect to be most important aspect in human life .without ending any conclusion this debate continued along the whole semester until final paper become imminent and there was no time left for any kind of debate , one day during confab one of my friend Al Moveed Hussaini while arguing in the favor of love mention about the power of presence mentioning that a person can't understand true meaning of love with out being fully present in time, due to my inclination toward intellect I did not embrace at that time to what he said but it very much appeal me to ponder over it for a while.
About one and half year ago when life was getting more and more tenebrous, unable to comprehend how to cope with the situation I started to search about the meaning of life when suddenly Al moveed's words about power of presence click into my mind. upon Goggling it the profile of Eckhart Tolle popup on my laptop screen. when scroll down through the profile I found out the book "The Power of now" and start reading reading it.
On anything I spend time during my entire life ,reading the power of now is most worthy of it, in this book the writer not only thoroughly explain the meaning of timeless now but also mention all steps and practices through which someone can be fully present at now. Eckhart Tolle through his book try to remind us that all the suffering and pain in this word are due to egoic mind created illusion of our self in total contrast to our reality. The first step to be fully present in now is to observe our mind at every instant what it is thinking about ,when we will able to fully observe out mind at every instant the second step begin which is to figure out the next thought that will come to our mind, in doing so we make our self free from the mind for a little while. by practicing the first two step we almost overcome our mind and make our self free from the unwanted and unnecessary thoughts , once the mind is cleared from unnecessary thought it leads us to the third step which is to observe our internal energy field by giving full concentration to our body. by doing so we will make our body thin enough for the light to pass through it and liberate our pain body from the darkness of mind created illusion of our self. the last step he mention is going deep in into the body and connecting our self to un manifested. that will liberate us from the cage of time dependent illusion of life and take us beyond manifested into the realm of foreverness thus liberate us from and any kind of pain and suffering.
While reading the book I was also doing practice of all the steps the writer has mentioned in the book and to be honest by the time I finished reading those practices leave a lasting impact in my life . I took control of my unconstrained mind quite a bit, now it seems so I have truly understand the essence of life.
for any one who is going through the failure, sorrows, pain and suffering they should know that these thing are only mind created illusion not reality, and they should read the power of now to be acquainted with the kernel of life.
