Time and Space


When asked how he could know the details of places he had not visited.....
Sri Maharshi only smiled and remarked: "It does not matter how I can tell. Enough if you know that in the Self there is no Space-Time."

"Time and space are within us. You are always in your Self. How do time and space affect it?"

On 10/4/46 a letter was read out to Maharshi which said... "that seeing Brahman alone in everything and everywhere is jnanottara bhakti. With reference to this, Bhagavan said, “This is a matter of mere words, whether you call the stage of seeing only Brahman, jnanottara bhakti or bhakti-uttara jnana. In reality, saying ‘We must see Brahman in everything and everywhere’ is also not quite correct.

Only that stage is final, where there is no seeing, where there is no time or space.

There will be no seer, seeing and an object to see. What exists then is only the infinite eye.”

(Day by Day With Bhagavan)

Every moment there is creation, every moment destruction.
There is no absolute creation, no absolute destruction.
Both are movement, and that is eternal.

Without time and space, nothing can happen.
Without a body, there is no doing.
The mind creates time and space, the body, subjects and objects.
Without the mind, none of this exists.
The mind is a lot of waves. Never mind what's happening on the surface of the ocean. Sink into the cool, silent place, 20,000 leagues beneath the ocean.
The mind is hot, the heart is cool.
