When you leave the body and your life passes in front of you, where you lived, what car you drove, or what you ate will have little importance; it's the intentions behind your actions that will tell the story. Whatever was experienced as being finite in the past is inherent in this moment, and whatever is experienced as being finite now will be inherent in the following moments, so, in reality, finiteness is eternal. This moment is the seed of the next moment, and the next moment will produce new seed moments. Paradoxically, eternity also exists in this moment because it has no past or future; it's timeless. Both sides of the coin are expressing the same reality. The point is, all moments can be eternally consecrated in this moment. Ask yourself, "Why am I saying what I'm saying? Why am I doing what I'm doing?" Live the teachings now: develop purity of intention.
Shankaracharya
