Quote by Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain], The G

These tenses--past, present and future--are not the tenses of time; they are tenses of the mind. That which is no longer before the mind becomes the past. That which is before the mind is the present. And that which is going to be before the mind is the future. Past is that which is no longer before you. Future is that which is not yet before you.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of time is heavily influenced by our perception and mindset. The past, present, and future are not dependent on the actual passage of time, but rather on how we perceive what is no longer in our minds (the past), what is currently in our minds (the present), and what is yet to come into our minds (the future). It emphasizes that the present is constantly fleeting and slipping away, soon to become a part of the past. Overall, the quote highlights the subjective nature of time and its connection to human consciousness.
