Time - Is it a myth or it isn't???

Recently, I read a very funny statement in a blog that "It takes really long to kill time especially when you badly want to"....This statement did trigger a lot of thoughts in me. There is this famous explanation for Einstein's theory of relativity which goes like this: "When you are with a pretty woman, an hour will seem like a minute. And when you are sitting on a hot stove, a minute will seem like an hour". And that seems absolutely true as well.

Time is a relative concept like GOD. Ofcourse, in both the cases, an absolute exists no doubt..But the absolute manifests itself relatively. And GOD, like the great Rishis is supposed to exist beyond time. What does this beyond time mean???

Time in my understanding is like a maze...A maze filled with a lot of concentric circles. And we are all scattered all around the maze. And each of our consciousness of Time is different. (One's consciousness depends on which circle they are in..for example, if dogs live in the innermost circle and we live a couple'a circle beyond the dog's circle, then our time consciousness is different..as in thats why we say something like, one year in our terms is like 8 years for a dog). And everyone without their knowledge, just try to get out of their current circle and come to the next one...and Moksha may be nothing but coming out of the maze. Thats why when we go to a great saint, he can look at once and talk about our present, past and future. (I donno about others but I certainly have met such saints). Which means they are in a different plane that they can see your past,present and future at one shot. Like how a person standing on the first floor can see whats behind and whats in front of the person standing at the ground floor..

And this relationship between human life and time also is pretty interesting. Every desire of a human being is meant to manifest. Whatever one asks to GOD will be granted. But it takes hell a lot of time to manifest. Purely because, the grant for our wish comes from outside TIME, and it slowly enters the maze and finds you. And by the time, it manifests you will not understand it. May be you would be in your next jenma. People believe that if you Karma and Samskara is good, it takes really short time to get your desires manifest. (which gives us another equation, is time equal to Karma..I shall think about it in my next blog) So if I am sitting and typing this blog, I could have desired to do this a few jenmas ago..lol..which complicates the equation even further. The more desires you have, the more it takes for you to get out of the maze as all your desires have to manifest before you get out of the maze. Thats why may be they say, moksha is attained by people who have stopped desiring.

Coming back to the manifestation bit, during performing pujas most of us would have heard the sankalpam, which will start with "vaivaswatha manvantare" followed by the Kalpam, yugam, etc and will boil down to the day, the thithi and nakshatram. So its as if the mantras initiate you to get the desire from beyond time, slowly through all these concentric circles and fix it on par with us.

Oops...Guess I have written too much...But I always stand by the statement which is displayed on my hero's (Vladimir Kramnik) website.."Time is precious when you don't have enough of it"..
