Swami, I am not understanding anything about my future. Please guide me.

[A question by Ms. Bhanu Samaikya]

Swami Replied:- One should not worry about the future since it is uncertain and similarly shall not worry about the past, thinking about which is waste of time. One shall concentrate on the present, which does not mean present day, past does not mean yesterday and future does not mean tomorrow. If electricity bill came yesterday, one shall not forget it thinking it is the past to be forgotten! Present means certain short range of time, which includes last month and next month. Last month shall not be treated as past and future month shall not be treated as future. If examinations are starting in a week, that matter is also included in the present and one shall prepare seriously on every day including today.
