抄録 | Time dwells in the depths of full mind. Deep inside us it interweaves the real and the unreal. Sacred time is the pure becoming, where the time of physics is no longer determinant. It is the flowing onward of the essence of life, a value centre in many principles of being, as we seek to create newer and even individualised eyes. The mind renews itself in the intuition of time.

The third word, aneha time, basically means "incomparable, unattainable, unmenaced, unobstruccted". It is the enduring and the permanent in change. The fourth word samaya time" is explained as samyug eti ("appointed or proper time, right moment for doing anything, time")... |
