All your thoughts... - Papaji

I was stunned reading these words by Sri Papaji:

All your thoughts belong to the past. Everything you do is a reaction based on past experience. Even when you think of the future, the thoughts of your future projection come from the thoughts, memories and experiences of the past. All mental activity comes from stirring up thoughts of the past. The present moment is free from thought, but when thought arises, you are no longer in the present, you are in the past. The thoughtless present moment is peace. It is only the thoughts of the past that make you miserable.

This is an extract from Nothing Ever Happened Volume 2, Page 249.

Is this what Sri Ramana referred to as Summa Iru or Just Be? I guess so. I think that the only thing to do is try and be in the present moment.

Many many thanks to Sri David Godman for bringing out the books and to Bhatta for lending me the books.
Jai Papaji, Jai Sadguru Ramana.

Remember Papaji's answer to the question on how does a realised react to any situation if s/he doesn't refer to memory?

All I remember is that the power of the self would make him do whatever he did. Is that what you are referring to?
Jai Sri Papaji, Jai Sri Ramana.
