Question

whats been a talent searching a presence of mind in us

Answer 1

Mind is an entity which is present with us all the time .we cannot improve any further presence of mind . It was given to us by nature in the most possible perfect state .it is a best and most wonderful magnificient creation ;gifted to us by nature and that is what differentiates us from other life forms.

But it our responsibility to feed and develop it further with the correct view.

But we were never about this and we let our mind develop and learn in its own and if at all we learnt something ;it was not the correct view.and this resulted in something called as untrained mind.

At present we have an untrained mind ;and we are at its disposal ;or rather I should say we are slave to our mind. But it was never minds fault;as it was our mistake that we left it untrained .once we train our mind then it begins to work for us ;with the correct view and thus we begin to come out of illusions and misinterpretations…this is called as true knowledge.

This training of mind is also called mindfulness. And realising the true knowledge is called as meditation.

And to make our mind more mindful or to make it aware of the present moment …is called as presence of mind …which was your question ,and that is the best possible way in which i can explain you about your quetion …asin the light of meditation.

As far as being mindful is concerned…

There is no magical way of training your mind .it is possible with the correct view, true knowledge ,guidance by the supreme in the former of teachings of the Buddha and last but not the least “practice of meditation ”.
