What makes a Guru different from an ordinary person?

❤
「你可以看到過去和未來嗎？」


「不是的。我看到的是當下！」


他看著我，用很自信肯定平和的口吻回答。

這是開悟的修行人和凡人不同的地方。我們懷念過去，懊悔過去，憧憬未來，懼怕未來，對現在所發生的事，毫不在意，他們永遠的在當下了知全部的內外密的一切⋯

How is a Guru different from mundane people like us ?

I asked a question that puzzled my mind : do you know the past and the future ? His answer was " No, I only know 'now' " with a very confident tone !

I have pondered upon this answer for a while which apparently is a profound and deep one .

In the absolute reality , one split second of time is no less than one eon of time . There is no past and future , because at every moment , all the past is gone and the future has not arrived yet .... You cannot micro dissect each second into the smallest measurement , for you will never be able to define what is past and future , but only the happening moment !

Yes, in fact , he is teaching me a lot things including being so concentrated at the very moment , be aware on the environment , be focused at the present occurrence , and be compassionate with everyone he encounters ...， only in a daily conversation .
