Time and methods of measuring it

Time and methods of measuring it

Q: We were discussing the practice: are the timings also important? The concept of a second, of a minute is implanted in the mind during some centuries. Before that how did they measure the intervals?

A: Well, in India there were so many different methods of measuring time. We have hours, we have minutes, we had ghati, nadi, matra, one second was — listen like that (made a “tick” sound with fingers) this is one second. A pal is like a second and a matra is less than a second. And 24 minutes make a ghati. In 24 hours there are eight yams, 48 mahuts — they used to calculate from that point. Also one minish, one closing your eyes, or blinking of the eyes is one minish. These were the units of time in the beginning.

Video kEu6yO2Q-hI

The comic: living statues and mismatched time frames; two men on a seashore stone

After reaching that planet, it roams around the entire planet and captures the entire planet. And they establish their headquarters there. After many years, their scientists report to them after 50 years. That the huge statues that we saw on the planet are actually alive, Because in 50 years the eyelids of one statue had moved to the state of blinking. Now that alien commander says that What is the use such a victory when the people here do not even know that we have won? If there was a difference in the time frame of both, So now they use even bigger weapons on them( statues). And no weapons have any effect on them.

Why? Because weapons also required time to have an effect. The timing of the alien race was different and the time perception of the people sitting there was different so they did not feel it. In the end they all come to an end with time. all of them died Now if you look from the other side, Two people are sitting on a stone on the sea shore are talking. One is looking at the stars and the other is looking around just like that. So it seemed to him that in the blink of an eye some movement happened and ended. So he said to the other one, hey, did you notice something happen here? So he said why are you worried? Life is short anyway So this depiction of the difference in the time frame which i read in that science fiction comic. I remember it till date.

HIGH STANDARD IN YOGA

Time perception; the quantum refusal

Guruji, in the higher states there is no time? And you perceive past, present and future as one?

Guruji: your perception will change about time.

I’m only in one dimension – or we have many dimensions where I exist at the same time?

Guruji: this is quantum physics, don’t believe it. We’re here – that is good.

LIVING WITH FEAR BY STUDYING IT

Time in dreams, limits, and first-person remarks

in a dream we can perceive the Time very differently: it can be much more slow or much more fast; in Yoga Vasishta they described like the world in the stone; so nothing has certain coordinates or measurement – but we’re trying to measure everything and we’re living inside this measurement?

Guruji: we are loving to put the limits and we’re living inside them

I’m very happy that everybody is agreed now – those, who know: what Shailendra Sharma has said and written – it is never been written before in the history of mankind. I’m very grateful that my disciples asked me so many questions: it gave me chance to sound it on. Nobody’s asking – I’m not talking, which you notice. But I can say: I survived Russian invasion( smiling).

One Russian has bought dhoti and asked me, how to tight? I called Mahatmaji, he showed him over his clothes. Then he asked a million dollars question: where should I put my genitals? I told him- you should put them carefully inside this( laughing). That was innocence!

Q: and how we can perceive the time?

Guruji: you’re already perceiving it. Your body is nothing but sentence of time. You’re already perceive so many years of time. You have sense of time. I give you another example: fish can never see water. Because we are set in time frames, we never see time. For this you stop everything in your body – body is sentence of time – and go into suspended animation. You will be out of the stream of time and you will be able to see it. Only by marks of time we are able to recognize it. So main thing is to go out of the stream of time, then you will see it. Take the fish out of the water and she will see it.
