Quote by Paulo Coelho

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. In India, they use the word 'karma,' for lack of any better term.

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment

Summary

The quote reflects on the concept of karma, a word used in India to describe the cycle of cause and effect, as an attempt to explain this timeless state in the absence of better terminology.
