The Power of Now

Amid distractions and mental noise, anchoring ourselves in the present moment unlocks clarity, peace, creative energy and authentic joy

- By RAJYOGI BRAHMA KUMAR NIKUNJ JI

Most of us might have heard the proverb, “You only know what you've got when it’s gone,” many times in our lives.

Yet despite this wisdom, we often realise the value of something only after we've lost it. Life flows like a stream, with every second bringing change. At any given moment, the water in the stream is not the same; it keeps moving. What is present now will pass the next moment. Life unfolds in the now, constantly offering something new. But too often, we let the present slip away—allowing time to rush past, unobserved and unseized. We squander the precious moments of our lives by dwelling on the past or getting lost in thoughts of the future.
