Our status in this world is that of a traveller. We come and go. Indeed, there must be some purpose behind this journey. We often use the terms “time pass”, “past time”, because of the delusive notion of TIME. In ancient scriptures it has been referred to as’ KAAL”. Time is a bigger entity than human being or even entire nature, which strictly abides by the mandate of time. The whole system as well as the universe, follows time like disciplined servant. Time gradually consumes and absorbs everything. It is like a snake swallowing a frog from behind and poor frog unaware of it, flings its tongue to catch insect. This delusion regarding time compels us to sidetrack the real essence of life. Life is On without knowing its real purpose. Anyone gets attached to a baby but as he grows older, same kind of affinity diminishes. And again a new baby appears to attract his attention. Whom do one loves? Did he love the particular baby? Then why he shifted his liking with growing baby! In fact, it was infancy, not the baby, for infancy is a virtue associated with innocence and non-discrimination. Same logic stands for childhood, not for the child. We watch things objectively, neglecting the substance within. Old flowers wither away, new ones bloom unconsciously to perpetuate our feeling. Our assertion is on human, setting aside its essence viz. humanity. Time is a framework through which every reality is passing. The particular stage which corresponds to a point in this frame is relevant and is a reality. Time is not a matter of reality! When a reality dies, it leaves behind thousand of actualities to commemorate its funeral and thousand of facts to decorate its grave. We observe in fragments, not in totality and totality is not assembly of fragments. To be happy, is our birth right but the purpose failed owing to ungracious attitude. It has fooled us through ages and set the wheel of misery and grief, on. Happiness sprouts from essence. The bearer of virtue is not the substratum. Missing and broken end of life may be redeemed if essence be realized. The essence of humanity is love, bliss, compassion, sympathy, forgiveness, humility, service, which is engrained in various stages of time-frame. One has to accept the reality and it is not wise for a lame to break his crutches on the head of someone else.
