Attentiveness can only be to that which is present. The past is a filler. Do not blame the past. If you have nothing right now with you, then as a filler, past and future would flow in. Do you want to blame them?
The present is not merely engagement in some activities that you are currently doing. Being in the present does not mean being concentrated on whatever rubbish you might have undertaken. That is not called being in the present. Being in the present means being centered in the Truth, being centered in the one thing. If you are centered in that one thing, how will rubbish come to you? You are occupied.
