Past is a memory, future an anticipation and present ‘now’ an illusion. Illusion is a state of uncertainty between real and unreal. And man is living through a thin line of illusionary present; flooded with past memories and future hopes. He cannot earmark ‘the now’ in which he really exists on each moment.
Time, as a concept, is limited in defining ‘now’. Time is able to define ‘bygones’ as memories and ‘hereafter’ as expectations; but failed in defining ‘now’ in its essence.
‘Now’ is a vague concept.
It is like an unsuccessful attempt to draw a line on the surface of water while sitting on a moving boat. Boat is moving from past to future visiting the depleting ‘present’ in each moment. We cannot preserve ‘now’ in any form. Once bubbled up ‘now’ gets vaporized into ‘past’ or materialized into ‘future’.
May be, in other terms, ‘now’ is a ‘tail-end’ of past or an ‘umbilical-cord’ of a foetus future. It may be an extension of past or preface of future. But, yet, how are we going to define it?
As ‘now’ is a form of faith, faith in ‘now’ makes you immortal, say masters.
