Time

Achieve Brahman and overcome time. Transcend time and become one with the Eternal.

The Eternal is beyond time. Brahman is timeless, an eternal reality that transcends time.

Time is more precious than money, and more valuable than anything in the world. It's the greatest treasure, the essence of life. Use time wisely for spiritual growth, and don't waste a single moment.

Arjuna said: Your birth was later; the birth of Vivasvan was earlier. How am I to understand that you declared this yoga in the beginning?

The Blessed Lord said: I am Time, the great destroyer of worlds, fully matured and engaged here in the annihilation of all. Even without you, none of these warriors arrayed against you shall survive.

Thus received in succession, the royal sages knew this yoga. But through the long passage of time, O scorcher of foes, this yoga was lost in this world.

I know, O Arjuna, all beings that have passed, all that exist now, and all that are yet to come — but no one knows Me.

As moths fly full of speed into a blazing flame to their own destruction, so too do these worlds plunge into your mouths with great force, rushing to annihilation.

All beings, O son of Kunti, merge into My nature at the end of a cosmic cycle; and at the start of a new cycle, I send them forth again.

As many rushing currents of rivers race forward into the sea, so these champions of the mortal world rush into your blazing mouths.

This very same multitude of beings arises again and again, dissolving at the coming of night, O Partha, and arising helplessly at the coming of day.

At the onset of Brahma's day, all manifest beings arise from the Unmanifest; at the coming of his night, they dissolve back into what is likewise called the Unmanifest.

Those who know that Brahma's day spans a thousand cycles of the four ages, and that his night also extends through a thousand — they are the ones who truly know day and night.

I bow to the Guru whose twin lotus feet eradicate the burning pain of duality and who at all times delivers the seeker from every adversity.

Those who have climbed the tree of worldly existence fall into the ocean of torment. Salutations to the Guru who draws them all back up and delivers them from that fate.

I understand morality, which is timeless and full of mysteries. It is the same ancient morality that is known to everyone, which is about being friendly to all and doing good for all creatures.

The gods, with Brahma at their head, worship your benevolent self, O sinless one. You are everything. You are the creator of the gods and it was you who caused them to be created. Through your grace, the gods pass their time in joy and perfect fearlessness.

God is the enduring one, and everything else is transient.

And as Christ says in the Gospel, they will be amazed at that time, saying, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesize in your name, cast out demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?'

There is one God, whose name is true, the creator, beyond fear, beyond vengeance, timeless, unborn, self-existent, and benevolent by the Guru's grace.
