Since ancient times, spiritual masters of all traditions have pointed to the present moment as the key to the spiritual dimension.
Gautama Buddha says that tanha – desire – is the root cause of all suffering, because suffering creates the mind. Desire means creating the future, projecting oneself into the future, bringing tomorrow. Bring tomorrow, and today will disappear; you will no longer see it; your eyes are clouded by tomorrow. Bring tomorrow, and you will have to bear the burden of all your yesterdays, because tomorrow can only exist if it is constantly nourished by yesterday.
Every desire is born from the past, every desire is projected into the future. The past and the future make up your entire mind. Analyze the mind, dissect it, and you will find only two things: the past and the future. You will not find a single drop of the present in it, not a single atom of the present. And the present is the only reality, the only existence, the only dance that exists.
The present can only be found when the mind has completely ceased. When the past no longer has power over you, when the future no longer controls you, when you are detached from memories and imagination, in that moment – where are you? who are you? In that moment, you are no one. No one can offend you when you are no one; you cannot be hurt – because only the ego is ready to accept wounds. The ego almost seeks opportunities to be wounded; it exists through wounds. All its existence depends on suffering, pain.
When you are no one, pain is impossible, anxiety is simply incredible. When you are no one, a great silence, a peace, no noise inside, descends. The past is gone, the future has disappeared; what else can create noise? And that silence that is heard is heavenly, sacred. For the first time in these spaces of non-mind, you realize the eternal celebration that continues and continues. Everything is made of it.
Except for humans, all existence is blissful. Only humans have fallen out of it, gotten lost. Only humans are capable of this, because only humans have consciousness.

No one has ever been able to express meditation so beautifully as Buddha did. Many people have attained it, but no one has been so expressive, no one has been able to convey the message so well as Buddha:
He never gives in to desire. He meditates.
And in the strength of his determination, He discovers true happiness. (c) Buddha
