"Do not look back and do not dream about the future, either it
will neither give you the past, nor satisfy your other aydreams.Your duty, your reward-your destiny are here and now."
Previously, Swami gave many quotes from the Bible and asked me to write. I wrote. He has now given this in the same way. This person livedfrom1905 to 1961. Let us see. He first tells that we should not look to the past. Yet, man is always thinking about what happened in the past. This happens particularly in his old age, when he has nothing to do. The mind looks back to the past, to old thoughts. He thinks about what happened in his youth and contemplates. What is the use of this? There is more benefit in him thinking of God or chanting His name. There is no use in thinking of the past.
The man then tells not to dream of the future. Yet, man is always doing this. He spends all his time immersed in dreams of the future. These two are his life. He never thinks about the present. The mind always thinks of the past or future things. These two are of no use. What is your duty? It is only to attain God. There are no other duties for man. Man is born here only to attain God. Our thoughts and deeds should only be on how to attain God. This is our duty. This must be contemplated on and known clearly. Each and everyone are given birth, in order not to be born again. If you do not use your life for this, you will be born and die again and again. The reward we get is in accordance with the duty we perform. This is our destiny, which we get' here itself right now'.
