Live Truly, Just For Today

"Time flies quicker than an arrow and life passes with greater transience than the dew. However skillful you may be, how can you ever recall a single day of the past? Should you live for a hundred years just wasting your time, every day will be filled with sorrow; you drift as the slave of (and to) your senses for that hundred years. But if *live truly* for only so much as a single day you will in that one day not only live a hundred years of life but also a hundred years of your future life."

Dogen Zenji Dai Osho
