Zohar answers, “Living in the present is
not so hard as one might think. You are doing it all the time! You just don’t
know it. When a real musician, a violinist for example, plays their instrument
they do not dwell on the note they just played, and they do not fret about the
note to come. If they were to do so it would detract from the moment, the
present now. They have forgotten all that they have learned and they relish in
the present note, the note they are now playing as that is the only note
worthwhile. They do not dread the next.
“Likewise, an athlete like a runner does not fret about his
last step or dread the next. He is absorbed in the present step, it’s form,
it’s swiftness, it’s elegance. He lives in that current step and nowhere else.
Winning the race is a secondary result of running a sequence of good steps.
Like the violinist, he has lost all knowledge of what he has learned in order
to run the best race he can, that he is able to do.
“This is living in the present. Forget everything and wake
up and you will be a Master too, you will take your place among their ranks.”
