What did Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur mean …

“Forget the past that sleeps and ne’er The future dream at all, But act in times that are with thee And progress thee shall call.”

Are we to simply enjoy the moment without thinking about any of the consequences of our actions are we not supposed to contemplate and regret some aspects of our past .

In Jiva Goswami’s Bhagavat Sandarbha, he speaks of understanding brahman the peace within , inherently the quality of everybody’s consciousness . Understanding the inner consciousness and its natural peaceful state , which is easily disturbed by my excess and unfettered materialism driven by hankering or lamenting due to the fleeting time period that always changes and needs avoiding.
The process of Krishna consciousness as given by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu very quickly brings one to peace and sanity. Thus, living in the moment in Brahman consciousness , that is progressively moving to an understanding that Divinity is in everything and we are part of that everything . Ultimately as our consciousness is fixed , we exchange our individual consciousness with the supreme sweetness of Divinity.

Some persons find it impossible to accept that one supreme consciousness could be responsible for all that is going on in this world or in the universe.
But delegation and supreme intelligence is evident even in our experience, 99.9999999999999% have not a clue how it is taking place or could make it happen from scratch .

“Something that trillions of people could use simultaneously would be a global phenomenon like the internet or perhaps a highly popular form of communication like social media or mobile phones. These technologies have widespread adoption and allow for massive numbers of users to access and engage with them concurrently. “

Bhagavad Gita gives details of how Divinity does what He does , which is further elaborated upon in the Srimad Bhagavatam .
Only the unthinking could accept the lazy mans chance event. Darwinion hodge podge , called subjective and speculative hypothesis , the objectively seen scientific evidence tells a different story.

There is our free will and there are God’s intelligent recommendations..

Democracy means free will

But one should know that Divinity gives many indications of what the duties of a leader are and what qualities they must possess . If we follow them we’re wise , if we don’t we are exercising our free will . An educated opinion is worth following. An uneducated opinion can lead to all sorts of miscalculation.
Take a look around the world today and tell me that everything socio-economic, sociopolitical and any scientifically driven enquiries or calculations have been arrived at by an intelligentsia who have actual educated opinions, that stem from an understanding of mind , matter. and consciousness development that will bring happiness, prosperity, and progression for everyone .
The Vedic societies give that sort of guarantee and have the methods based on educated opinions and specific qualities of a person that fit a specific task and which can knit society together perfectly .

These Vedic calculations are always based on Sabda Brahman pure truthful sound . In life, we find truthful sounds and deceitful sounds , we must know the difference .
