Beyond time and space

Time is a mental construct, not an ultimate reality. Our destiny stems from past deeds, yet we have forgotten this connection. In truth, there is no time; it is a product of the human brain. We invented the clock and its measurements. There is no boundary, hence the state described as beyond time and space. The intellect, which created this complication, becomes liberated from these limitations. That timeless moment is called samādhi. In that state, consciousness becomes one without a second. The past, present, and future—the entire universe—is known. The three principles of knower, knowledge, and object merge into one. Only the absolute declaration of oneness remains. There is no past or future, only the undivided present.

"Time is only a product of the human brain."

"When these three merge into one, then only 'So'ham,' 'Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi' remains."

Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Our destiny is the fruit of our past deeds. Yet we have forgotten this. Do you remember yesterday evening? That was a very important point: how time unites, expands, divides, and exists in oneness—past, present, and future. In reality, there is no time. Time is only a product of the human brain. We made the watch. We are playing with its iron needles. "Now the sun sets, now the sun will go down." There is no time. And there is no boundary. Therefore, it is said: "beyond time and space." Did you see someone behind that space? Then what is in front? It means this human intellect, which created self-complication, is now liberated and no longer bound to the limitations of time and space. That timeless second is called samādhi. And when that samādhi takes place, your consciousness becomes one without a second. It means there is not even one second of time for the realization of oneness. It means the past, present, and future—the entire universe—is known to you. You have opened thousands of eyes; you are the seer of everything, and you are the knower of everything. The three principles merge together: knower, knowledge, and object. When these three merge into one, then only "So'ham," "Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi" remains. Then there is no past and no future, only the present, one without a second.
