Past is Past



"All that has to happen will happen.  Do not worry about it.  Past is past, forget the past.  Future is uncertain, do not brood over it.  Present is important, live in the present and be happy.  Do not worry about past and future.  Where is the past?  Many people have passed away.  Has any of them come back?  None.  

Similarly, we do not know anything about future.  Why should we worry about it?  You should try to seek happiness in the present.  When you have such an attitude, you will never worry about anything in life.  What is the shape of worry?  It is a mentally created fear.  We should never worry.  A true devotee will not have any worries.  You cannot call yourself a true devotee if you are beset with worries.  Hurry, worry, curry are the cause of heart diseases.  One should therefore avoid hurry, worry, curry."
