राधा अष्टमी की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं
If a dog has a wound, it licks it with the tongue, as his saliva has something in it that heals the wound. But if a monkey has a wound, it repeatedly scratches the wound, which prevents healing. Similarly there are two different kinds of actions – licking and scratching. "Licking" means to forget the incident as it is not in the present. "Scratching" means to recollect the incident of the past, time and again and to make effort to wipe it out. Just like when somebody's son dies and the person is reminded of his son's death, he mourns the demise of the son, that he did not deserve death. Others who visit him also remind him. The woman-folk would lament the passing away, of one who played their lap and clung to them! They would say that he was so handsome and so playful! All such words would reopen his wounds and increase his grief for long. Similarly, remembrance of passion, anger, fear etc., would be tantamount to deepening of a wound, whereas, understanding that however much the depth (force) of the passion, anger, grief or delusion, or pleasure be, this was definitely of the past and not of the present is like licking the wound; 
"nasato vidyate bhaavah" (Gita 2/16); "That which is not, cannot be existent." For those people for whom we have affection, attraction and friendship, who died or separated from us, who stayed some other place and we stayed elsewhere, now neither these individuals are there, nor is that place there, nor is time there, nor condition nor situation exists the same as before. For that reason, we should firmly recognize their absence or deficiency and believing so, we should not be moved, neither be attached to them , nor have any aversion towards them, but simply become indifferent!
Question - The past and the future are not there right now, but the present is certainly there right now?
Answer - In reality, the present also does not exist at all. The conjunction of the past and the future is called, the present. Paanini, the grammarian in a Sutra said - "Vartamaansaameepye vartmaanvadva" (3/3/131); The proximate-present, is like the present, just as we say, of the past "I have come just now" and for the future, we say, "I am going just now" this is proximate-present. In reality, the proximate-present is what we call the present time. If as such there was any present time, then it could never become the past.
Truly, a place, time etc., do not exist, but only the divinity (existence) does. It means that anything that changes every moment, is not the present and that which never changes, alone is present. That Reality always exists, it existed in the past, exists now and will exist in future, but in essence, there is no past, present or future. In time, there is Reality (the Self) but in Reality there is no time. The Reality transcends time.
The present (Reality) (self) of all is flawless. So having risen above the limits of present, past and future, we should be established in that flawless and peaceful Reality (the Self) i.e. we should realize the self-evident state. On Self-Realization neither the mind nor its fickleness will persist but only the Reality (the Self) will persist.
