Inside our skull thought is moving with tremendous speed, and the medium based on which it moves is time. Thought moves into future, back to past never staying in the present, this is fairly simple to observe in one's mind. There is always a struggle in human beings knowingly or unknowingly to keep it in the present, here what we miss is that struggle to stay in the present is again the trick played by thought. There is mutation in the psyche when one realizes I can't do anything about my psychological feelings (fear, desire, anger, suffering...etc) then suddenly mind becomes still, this stillness out of realization can only makes you free not your effort and struggle to be free. In that stillness only, learning about yourself begins and through learning ending of suffering happens, which is completely effortless.
In other words I can say we are always trying "TO BECOME" something, but this effort and struggle to become, is just a waste of energy, it is a constant battle between "What I am" and "What I should be", once if you realize the enormous wastage of energy, realize in the sense you have to feel this as a fact with your heart, with your whole being then this struggle "TO BECOME" naturally comes to an end. Then mind becomes silent and still, only in this silence is learning possible? The mind which is trying to become something can never understand what it is in the present, so it is not an intelligent mind.
Action is always in the present.
