This means, in the words of Shoju Rojin(Dokyo Etan), "What is important is not the past or the future, but to live your life by focusing your eyes on today, the present." Cherish today, a day that will never come again, and carefully think about what you can and should do today, and do it properly. The most important thing in life is not to get ahead in life or accumulate wealth, but rather to know what kind of mind you have today, right now.
