Eternity

Eternity, Infinity and Immortality: these three go together. Now when depression comes and attacks us, when frustration comes and attacks us and when worry and anxiety come and attack us and make us feel that we will never realise God, that time is very short, then immediately we have to take shelter in Eternity. Eternity has to be lived in our day-to-day life. We are eternal, we belong to Eternity. Each moment if we can feel that we belong to Eternity, then worries leave us, frustration leaves us, all negative thoughts and ideas leave us. But this eternity should not be just a kind of tendency to feel "Oh! we can wallow in the pleasure of idleness because we are eternal and of course one day we’ll realise God." No. We must try our utmost to realise God here and now at this very moment, but at the same time offering ourselves devotedly, soulfully, at the feet of the Supreme. His Eternity, His Now is our chance. He belongs to the eternal Now. The Supreme is always the eternal Now. So when the world wants to pull us back, we have to feel that we are not lost, we are in the eternal Now. For an aspirant, a spiritual person, eternity is nothing but the eternal Now.
