Time Is Relative
Be present, engage fully in what you do, and appreciate the ever-changing nature of things, so you can truly make the most of your time. The clock is ticking, or is it?
My favorite cartoon growing up was 'Dragon Ball Z.' In a nutshell, it's about the life of a boy from another planet with super strength who continuously saves the Earth and the universe from formidable villains.
The main character's name is Goku. He is always kind, even to his opponents, but when it's time to fight and defend what he loves, he is determined to win. Sometimes, Goku doesn't have enough time to train properly to increase his strength. So he goes with one of his many friends to a place high in the sky where there's a room called the 'Time Chamber.'
One year inside this chamber is equivalent to just 5 minutes in the real world. Goku enters the chamber and trains for years. When he exits, only a few minutes have passed in the real world. He can essentially gain years of hard training in just a few minutes.
In the branch that explores the intricate nature of reality, Gnani Yoga, Yogi Ramacharaka writes, “We observe time in operation everywhere and often take it for granted as a concrete reality, an actual thing. However, this is a mistake of the senses. In reality, there is no such thing as time. Time exists solely in our minds as a form of perception through which we express our consciousness of change in things.”
