(I am a humble student of yoga. I learnt yoga, Tantra and spirituality from many masters. There are many approaches to yoga, hence many philosophies. It is very difficult to compress and write about all approaches. I accept with humility that articles, I write on the authentic yoga tradition but do not include every aspects but integrates the essence of teachings. Where ever I refer ‘my masters’ with whom I spent more than 26 years. Kindly write to me freely if you do not agree or writing does not convey the right message. I am always open to clarify any issue with reference to texts, teachings and applications. I write as an instrument of my master. )

1. TIME IN TIMELESSNESS KEY TO PEACE AND HAPPINESS
Time – our general perception

and money
• Time is fear if it breaks habitual
routine
• Time is pleasure if satisfies my ego
• Time is money if it brings material

2. TIME IN TIMELESSNESS KEY TO PEACE AND HAPPINESS
Time – opposing views
• Newton and Immanuel Kant fights against each other about
TIME
• Newton says - time is part of the fundamental structure of
the universe –
• A dimension independent of events, in which events occur in
sequence.
• Immanuel Kant says- time is neither an event nor a
thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled
• Then what Time is ??????????????????

• Mind comes in between

Time – who knows it within – the knower
?
•

There is a knower of time within us
Mind is an observer – measures time
Mind tracks time with events outside –inside
Outside – events, change, things
Inside – thoughts, feelings, emotions,
sensations etc.

• Perhaps we do not know the
„knower‟ of time in us
• But we know all events in time

know itself
• Meditation begins here

Time and you (YOU-knower)
•

•
We know time by sequence of events in waking
state
Do we know time in deep sleep? NO
Scientists will hypothesize in their favor
Yoga masters will say – what a big deal
When you do not know “time” in sleep
You are not there?

You are not aware of world –

Yoga says – we are in coma eternally
• Yoga is self-discovery – knowing thyself
• Moving from „self in time to unknown territory
within‟
• Meditation begins – mind moves within
• Time passes in clock but stands still within
• Subjective experience ? Beyond TIME ?

honey”
• „Are you crazy , I am in a business meeting
now”
• Oh , love is gone as if it is an event of TIME
