Have you ever wondered , when did time begin ?
Before reading the rest of this post ….. just spend some minutes thinking about it ……
Probably after the big bang , when supposedly space and time were born ….
or probably you’d think that time began when you were born , and you opened your eyes to life on the third planet from the sun.
But i beg to differ.
For me , time begins when we know who we are. When we know our purpose in this world . It looks too easy from the outside. Live life everyday, have some fun , work for sometime, laugh, cry , love , eat golgappas ………. but this is what everyone in this world does .
How can everyone’s purpose be the same? It is not. We all have some special gift ; although the gift is packed. Very few people actually care to open their gift.
And when that gift is unraveled , when the covers are removed, it is then that time is born. It is then that the conscience breathes , and one sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
Most of us will live our entire lives , without ever recognising the fact that we are slaves, slaves of time, slaves of our own bound thoughts, slaves of the thoughts and actions of others, slaves of opportunities, with hands begging , of a place , a comfortable place under the sun ; a big house , with an even bigger car ; a beautiful wife and beautiful children ; a nice job , with a nice boss , the list is endless.
We will never try to cross the boundaries , break the barriers , and “know” our true self , unless of course , we choose to do so.
It is then that time will begin , and everything else will end.
It is then that the whole universe will descend , and our purpose on earth will be fulfilled .

Well the trouble is that if
admin_nawa Posted at 12:39 on Wed, 06/03/2009Well the trouble is that if you try to achieve liberation, the path you need to take is more difficult and boring than being a slave. Some Sadhus have achieved this liberation through meditation and yoga but it took them years to achieve a state of bliss when you are not attached to anyone.
I tried to take this path myself and realized mere baski nahi hai. However a mixture of meditation as well as this so called slavery can be something which can lend a balance to our lives.
