TIME-MANAGEMENT

The Universe. 

--

The Sense of Being an individual is so natural and spontaneous, all the time and always everyone is a subject to this sense, however hardly one consciously pays attention to this obvious Reality available to all. Just because it is not so easy to identify the point where-from this sense emerges out and how it is related with this world where one finds oneself in a spur of the moment.

Isn't this true that the moment and the idea of an objective world emerge out together and simultaneously in such a way that the two can't be differentiated from One-another?

So, there is a TIME, that is defined as the very present moment and yet the other that is thought of that keeps passing.

The very present moment is therefore a fixed point in the another that is said to keep on passing always.

Is'nt this division itself a consequence to the idea of TIME and an extension of the idea only?

This assumed Time is therefore but only a hypothetical one and the The sense of being an individual is also likewise an idea, and both of these two emerge out from the Underlying Principle that is consciousness or the state of being conscious only?

Again, could the above two, namely the "state of being" that is reflected as the "Sense I'm" and "being conscious" be distinguished from one another?

Therefore consciousness or being conscious alone is The Underlying Principle where-from and where-in the above two always simultaneously emerge out and re-merge into again. 

This implies that the Universe as is said to exist and is experienced too by an individual is also very much an individual one, though everyone without exception thinks that it is one and the same "world" for all.

That is How there exists number of so  many mutually distinct and multiple Universes always and ever so.

This day Physicists and scientists also think and speculate on these lines. They also do estimate the number of such so many in terms of  10^10^5 or something like this.

The Veda however describes this truth of the multiplicity of the individual beings and the Universe(s) in the following way:

अनन्तकोटि ब्रह्माण्डनायकराजाधिराजाय योगिराजायराजेश्वराय परमात्मने श्रीगुरवे नमः।।

The Time and the world as perceived by and experienced for each of this infinity of individual beings though  look distinct, individuad, different and very personal, The Underlying Reality undergoes no change at all.

Now let us talk about this individual in the individual Time in the World, that too appears one's own individual.

Time for such an individual exists as a Reality in the form of the objective, subjective or irrespective of the two kinds.

In one's own universe or the world that appears to everyone as very individual one, whosoever is a captive of Time, and thinks may somehow control or manage the same.

But the one who really is aware of the fact that this individual world and the Time one experiences in this assumed world exist only during the waking state and disappear altogether while one is in the dreaming state or is fast asleep in a dreamless state of the mind.

The existence of this objective world experienced during the waking state is therefore ambiguous. Only during our common waking states we do find it to exist as if it is always the same. And at the same time we all know and say this world is Changeful as well! 

How to reconcile the two contradicting experiences?

The truth is that the thread that joins all the three states of mind is but only the one that is the "The Sense of I'm, the same through, before and after all experiences that one goes through, be it of the waking state, the dream state or the state of deep dreamless sleep state of the mind."

I wish to stop this post here and shall write the next part in the next post.
