I heard this quote the other day and it made me grin internally – what a brilliant statement!
When you really quiet down, you can begin to understand that both space and time are facilities for us to navigate our lives in this world. They are not set in stone monolithic structures. You can verify this for yourself by stopping and noticing your situation throughout the day. You will notice that time is a factor that is constantly moulding around your experience, it is changing and adapting to your consciousness. This is verified by modern science and has been accepted since ‘time began’ (LOL). The same goes for space, it is constantly adapting to your needs! Most folk accept them as immovable eternal factors, but no!
In Bhagavad Gita 18.61, Sri Krishna tells Arjuna;
īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
hṛd-deśe ’rjuna tiṣṭhati
bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni
yantrārūḍhāni māyayā
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.
As we wander throughout our lives and throughout the universes, we are protected by casings of a gross body and six subtle bodies. In addition, we have at hand access to the emotions, which we access in times of need such as anger when we need to establish boundaries, or fear, when we need to slow down and observe what is going on around us. We in our essence are neither the body or the mind. We are travelling in a machine; protected; all we need to do the work of becoming fully cognizant and realized beings, which we actually already are! Time and space are part of the material energy for us to utilize in this endeavour. We just have to claim it in that way! So, love is the beautiful oneness that sits on top of all material energy, hence love kicks the ass of space & time!
