“If we turn away from the present, or rather if the present is so often unable to hold our attention,
it is because we conceive of it as being a known and registered reality, therefore devoid of interest, or as a disappointing one. Just so long as we have not understood that true bliss is not in objects, but in us, we continue to place our hope in the future and keep racing ahead.
We thus live in a state of imbalance, bent upon, and striving endlessly towards, the future.
What we must come to understand is that awareness in the present is the only starting point and that this starting point is at the same time the point of arrival.”
