The unreal will always be in the realm of time – because that which was not yesterday, is today, and will not be tomorrow is divided into three chronological parts: past, present and future. But that which was yesterday, is today, and will also be tomorrow cannot be divided into three parts. What past, present or future can be there in this context? It simply is. That is why there is no sense of time with the real, no concept of time. The real transcends time, is beyond time. And the unreal is within time.
If you are standing on a riverbank and your reflection appears in the river. You may be standing out of the river but your reflection can only appear in the river. The water is needed as a medium. Any medium that can function as a mirror, any medium that can reflect, is essential. But in order for you to exist, no reflecting medium is needed. And yes, for an image of you to be formed, a reflecting medium will be needed. Time is this medium of reflection. The real stands on its banks and the unreal is reflected in this stream of time. The reflection that appears on the mirror of time, the stream of time, is unreal. And nothing can ever remain steady in time, just as nothing can remain steady in water – because water, by its very nature, is unsteady. Hence no matter how steady the reflection may look, it will always waver. Water, by its very nature, is wavering. All these wavering reflections formed on the mirror of time were not there yesterday, are here today and will no longer be here tomorrow. Even to say “yesterday” is too long a time. They were not there a moment ago and will be gone the next moment. So that which is changing moment to moment in this way, which is momentary, is unreal. That which is beyond the moment, that which always is, that alone is real. In the Bhagavad Gita (11.32), the Supreme Lord says: kālo ’smi loka-kṣaya-kṛt pravṛddho lokān samāhartum iha pravṛttaḥ ṛte ’pi tvāṁ na bhaviṣyanti sarve ye ’vasthitāḥ praty-anīkeṣu yodhāḥ “Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you (the Pāṇḍavas), all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain.” Thus majority, who cannot manage time, are running always all the days and nights; one who knew time, becomes wise; knowledge is secret K Rajaram IRS 101125 On Mon, 10 Nov 2025 at 05:54, Markendeya Yeddanapudi < [email protected]> wrote: > > > -- > *Mar* > > The Fatal Repudiation > > > > No University in the whole world promotes learning directly from nature by > using one’s natural faculties, without the intervention of some technology. > No University trains the students in communicating directly with the other > organisms of the Biosphere.
