ĀTĀRO
Knowing the Self is the Right Knowledge, Perceiving the Self is the Right Perception, Revelling in the Self is the Right Conduct. This alone is the path to salvation.
The second principle of apramada is -- to live in the present, i.e. to identify oneself with the current activity. One who is absorbed in the present activity does not pay heed to any other activities. One who remains lost in the reminiscences of the past and imaginations of the future cannot live in the present. A person who is engaged in one activity while his mind is occupied with another cannot remain alive to the exigencies of the present concentration.
