Re: Three Levels of Time

Siva said Dec 19, 2006, 2:33 AM:

 

Three things which struck me most are:

1. When the self stands by it claims the right to possess what time presents.

2. Time is the essence of our being and becoming, on which we feed and draw our sustenance.

3. An eternity of 'straying' still leaves us very much at home, intimately united.

Now the following questions arise as corollary to the above respectively, in that order.

1. Does the self which stands by is the 'soul', who is the eternal witness, itself remaining unperturbed?
 
2. Since time is the essence of our being and becoming, on which we feed and draw our sustenance, it appears quite akin to the nature. In that case are the two namely time and nature are the one and the same?

3. Does this 'straying' mean  bodily death? Is that why we remain at home even after death at the same spot, intimately united? We may or may not assume another body and travel along the first level to eventually upgrade to level three through a 'fluid' level 2.
