INFINITE TIME

This is what Kṛṣṇa says. We
believe in a concept of finite
time and limited space and we
cling to that without realizing
what is beyond this dimension.
We are greedy to accumulate
more and more material
pleasures because we see them
as real and permanent. We
think they will stay with us
forever. That is one side. On
the other side we fear that they
will be taken away from us. We
are always in a state of fear.
Both these — greed and fear —
are the main sources of our
misery.

When we live in bondage to fear and greed, we continuously build saṃskāras. We create more and more desires. First of all, we are not trying to fulfill our true desires or prārabdha karma. Then on top of that, we build a whole new set of desires. In our concept of time and space, we think things are permanent. We think we own them and we should take care of them and control them.
When we understand that at higher dimensions, all that we see is destroyed and created continuously, we realize the futility of holding onto things, even our own body. Kṛṣṇa says that in all this creation and destruction, only one thing is neither created nor destroyed and that is the ‘Ultimate Consciousness’!

TIME AND
SPACE
What we think of as an age is a
fraction of a second to Brahma and
everything we see as permanent is
being made and destroyed every
time Brahma blinks.
Do not analyze the literal meaning
of this. Do not analyze how it is
possible. Do not worry about how
many hours, how many seconds
make one day of Brahma?
Do not worry about what is
Brahma’s time or what is Śiva’s
time or Kṛṣṇa’s time. Kṛṣṇa refers
to the concept of time and space as
it exists in the Ultimate
consciousness and as an
Enlightened Master experiences it.
