Jai Sri Baba Lal ji,
Understand that time, once passed, never returns. A day that has gone by becomes part of the past—and the past signifies that which no longer exists is dead.
We are all subject to the influence of time; at any stage of life or age, there is no way to turn back or return to a previous state. Life is like a flowing stream, destined eventually to merge into the ocean. In this process, the loss of one’s individual identity is certain; change is inevitable.
Just as a ripened fruit must eventually fall, every mortal being must, in time, confront the truth. Even if one’s time runs out before the fruit has fully ripened, it is still destined to perish in one form or another.
Whether a person stands still in one place or takes a great leap forward, both actions are meaningless in the face of the truth of time—for time encompasses both equally within its reach. However, for those who, even amidst the dark reality of Maya that illusion, keep the awareness of the truth alive, the situation is different.
Jai Baba Lal Dayal Ji,
