KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 20The existence of individual human beings is known as life
Every human being has their own life and definition of life
What they see and experience about life is what they believe to be true
What is good or bad is all based on your surroundings and your memory.

Time is divided into the past, present and
But what we think of as the past is all that our memory is telling us about
In other words, any event or thing in our memory helps us to break it into the past, present or future
But if it doesn't exist in our memory, then there is also no past
And whatever is happening in the present is already the past
Similarly, the future is what our memory suggests depending upon the present time
So, in reality, the only thing that exists is your being, who is witnessing everything as memory.

life of others, such as birth, death, problems, happiness, feelings of sadness and bliss

How one acts – positively or negatively – depends upon what he has treasured as memory.The ultimate satisfaction in life is to know or

When one realises this truth, then one can easily decide what one wants in life.There could be so many things in our memory, but what we
usually are aware of is what keeps happening in our life
So to remain in a state of happiness or bliss, one has to be aware of happy feelings and not sad ones, in other words, positive thoughts
always create positive effects
Usually what you are aware of in day-to-day life is what is creating more for you to feel it
If you want ultimate satisfaction in life then detach yourself from all kinds of negative thoughts by not being aware of them.A version of
