DAY 298
Do Not Grieve the Past, Do Not Fret the Future
기원후 3~12세기경 편찬(구전 격언시)
ORIGINAL
गते शोको न कर्तव्यो भविष्यं नैव चिन्तयेत् । वर्तमानेन कालेन वर्तयन्ति विचक्षणाः ॥ (gate śoko na kartavyo bhaviṣyaṃ naiva cintayet, vartamānena kālena vartayanti vicakṣaṇāḥ)
📜 THE VERSE
Do not grieve over what has passed, and do not worry over what is yet to come — the wise live only by the present moment.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Right now, does my mind dwell more in past regret or future worry?
📝Reflection
The past can no longer be touched, and the future has not yet arrived. The only time we can actually touch is now. This short verse may sound like nothing new, but it is a truth we must keep relearning daily, because it is never easy to practice.
