Reflection
Presence
Be where you are; otherwise, you will miss your life.
— Buddha
जहाँ आप हैं वहीं रहें; अन्यथा, आप अपना जीवन खो देंगे।
— बुद्ध
Why this matters:
Life only happens in the now; being elsewhere in our minds means missing the only reality we have.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
जीवन केवल 'अभी' में होता है; हमारे मन में कहीं और होने का मतलब है उस एकमात्र वास्तविकता को खो देना जो हमारे पास है।
