Tock Tick – A Perspective on Time

Time does not stop on the failure of a watch battery just because the

hands cease to move anymore. Time goes on and so does everything else

until its failure or expiration. Everything in this world is set for

entropy and man is no exception. He is made, like everything else,

with an expiration date, which sooner or later will be reached on the

timeline. Yet, man is constantly racing against the clock trying his

best to beat time. Nobody ever beats time.

An alternative view that one can adopt is to treat the time allotted

to this life as a counter that is sey on a timer — just like that on

a microwave oven, where every second that passes one closer to zero.

The only difference is that man does not know how long he has until

his time is up, but what he does realise is that he is running out of

time and before long, his timer will definitely read zero.

What do we have to account for at the end of it all? Is there anything

that we can take with us at zero?

The mystics tell us that if there is anything at all that goes with us

at the end, it is our Master and our Meditation.

Not knowing when we will take our last breath lets us assume that we

have a tomorrow — another day to do what could have been done today.

Putting meditation off till later is a mistake with too heavy a price to pay.

Withdrawl to the eye centre requires effort, concentration and time.

And if given a tentative slot in man’s latter part of life, it is done

so without any guarantee of knowing how much time latter-life even

holds for him.

Procrastination is the greatest blunder of man, and probably one of

the biggest allies of time. With everyone’s timer heading towards

zero, including that of the physical Master, it is of utmost

importance that we all take full advantage of our time here.

The Masters all realise this and thus make complete use of every

second in their life to fulfil their purpose of coming into the world.

We need to realise the same and use very opportune moment possible

towards achieving our goal of withdrawing our consciousness to the eye

centre and eventually of God-realisation.
