Acharya Prashant clarifies that living in the present is often misunderstood as merely focusing on the task at hand. He uses the example of Kabir Saheb, who would weave cloth while his mind was immersed in the remembrance of Shri Rama. This suggests that the 'present' is not a temporal moment but the ultimate Truth. He explains that the past, present, and future are like flowers on the tree of Truth, which is the root. One should remain established in the Truth; from that state, reflecting on the past or looking toward the future becomes meaningful and safe.
