TIME
The
future starts today, not tomorrow.
If
we examine our thoughts, we shall find
them always occupied with the past and
the future.
Blaise
Pascal

is toch een verzinsel van de mensen,' zegt

we imagine time to be something moving from
the left to the right, (Connie

JOKE ABOUT TIME (ge) Treffen
sich zwei Psychologen. Fragt der eine:
"Weißt Du wieviel Uhr es is? Antwortet
der andere: "Nein, aber gut, daß wir
mal drüber gesprochen
haben!!!" Die
beiden treffen sich eine Woche später
wieder. Der Eine fragt: "Und, weißt Du
inzwischen, wieviel Uhr es ist?" - "Nein!",
sagt der Andere "Aber ich kann schon viel
besser damit
umgehen!" (http://www.psychologie.uni-bonn.de/~kruege_t/humor.htm)

"If

" Russian
Proverb '
Life is endless, not punctuated by nights,
days, months and years - for all are one, in
the eternal stream' 'Festivals
based on the calendar, solar or lunar,
celebrating the apparent change of movement
or direction of the sun or the moon have been
devised, in order to emphasize the need for
mind-control (the moon is the presiding deity
of the mind) and intelligence-regulation (the
sun is the presiding deity of intelligence).
Placing disproportionate faith in material
wealth and objective pleasures, man has lost
the art of tapping the resources of joy
within himself, within his own mind and
intelligence. One need not wait for
Uttarayana to arrive, for resolving upon the
process of mind-control and
intelligence-control. Every moment is the
right moment.' Sathya
Sai Baba, from Sathya
Sivam
Sundaram
"Time
is no servant of the body; the body is the
servant of Time." Bhagavan
Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sathya
Sai Baba Time
is God. All things happen according to the
dictates of Time; Both good and bad depend on
Time; Prosperity and poverty likewise depend
on Time; Time is the determinant of all
things, There is none who is not subject to
Time In this entire world; that's the Truth.

Sai Baba during a lecture 3 March 1992 Want
of Time..... Men
may have super abundance of food, clothing
and housing; but their hearts may be dry and
their spirits glooming. Sense-control,
self-confidence, contentment, absense of
hatred and greed are far more precious
possessions than land, money or houses. No
effort is made today to give lessons of this
discipline in the educational institutions.
It is wrong to lay the blame on want of time.
You are the obstructor, not the time. The
monkey that cannot pull out its clencled fist
from the narrow neck of the pot blames the
pot or the maker of the pot. But if only it
releases the hold on the peanuts it has
caught in that fist, it can easily take its
hand out. The fault lies in itself. So too,
man's greed is the reason for this want of
time. That is why I often refer to it as the
monkey mind -- Sathya
Sai Baba

Time
is the coin of your life. It is the only coin
you have, and only you can determine how it
will be spent. Be careful lest you let other
people spend it for you.

being." J.P.

good. (dying

"And
if the world perceives that what we are
saying about him (the philosopher) is

artists who imitate the heavenly
pattern?" Socrates
