To live in the moment is to let go of everything. And what is everything? The illusion that the me of the body is real. To let go, release your attachment to the body and its personality. It is not you. It is ignorance and fear. You are wisdom and joy. It is transitory. You are eternal. It lives in a world of pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. You live with peace of heart in all situations. Your worldly ways are fed by judgment and desire. Without them you have no hopes or expectations. Without hope and expectation, you are free to accept all in the moment with peace of heart. To let go and live in the moment, do nothing. You cannot make it happen by thought and effort. You must be open to what is happening now. Be its witness without owning it. Observe the ponies in the field without climbing on them to ride. Be the witness, not the actor. This is letting go. In letting go you may live or die. What does it matter? You must pass through this acceptance to reach your true nature.
