If one fully understands the present moment, as a succession of moment after moment in ones life, there will be nothing else to do, or pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment. Everyone lets the present moment slip by, then looks for it somewhere else. Knowing this, one piles experience upon experience ,and this understanding transforms one. Single-mindedness and clarity are the results. When one achieves this their affairs will thin out. Loyalty is also contained within single – mindedness.
