Why is it difficult to feel and remember eternity?

The mind is a wanderer, forever chasing goals in the past and future, but eternity can only be felt in the stillness of the present moment.

— Osho
According to Osho, we can’t feel or remember eternity because the mind is conditioned to chase goals and live in past and future, never in the present where eternity is. Mind has no present tense; it thrives on purpose and ambition. Through witnessing thoughts and dropping goal-orientation via meditation, a distance from mind appears, and eternity, the timeless herenow, becomes self-evident.

Your busy mind runs to yesterday and tomorrow, so you miss eternity living quietly in the now—watch thoughts and relax into this moment to feel it.
