Time
brings out/speaks about the conflicts and the dilemmas in
which the individuals gets trapped. In the course of time, we
determine our responsibilities and we try to put them into
practice. Whereas, on some occasions we experience the honour
that are being granted on us by the events.
The
rules and the principles always settle down in time. All the
strong disappointments are experienced during these periods.
Time also decides about our expectations, and determines our
outer world. However, it is not limited only with these
subjects.
This
concept influences our inner world too. All the dimensions
pertaining to the dreams which have not become manifest openly,
but which have definite obvious beginnings and ends are
also dependent on time.
Anything
and everything has a cause and effect relation and a programm
all of which are indexed to time. It is impossible to think
the other way round.
Time
gives the necessary lessons to those who have lost their
self-control because of joy and pride.
In the course of time, the individual accepts his/her destiny.
S/he builds up his/her loyalty and maturity in a certain
period of time. No one can become successful without
distributing the chain of success over time. In the course of
time, the humans have a stronger will power, belief and a
more stable character.
You can
witness that the dreams, the prejudices and the deformed way of
thinking get changed in the course of time.
However,
sometimes everything gets lost as tiem passes. Such a
situation is indeed very puzzling for an individual. It is
much more easier to look for a needle in a haystack than trying
to find out what has been lost in time. It is very
interesting that even the dreams that people have during the
same time period are being perceived by the brains in a
different manner.
In this
life which is full of ups and downs we cannot become aware of
the fact that time is passing extremely fast and also we cannot
know where we are standing in time.
As time
goes by the frustrations and the pains in life seem to slow
down, but they never pass totally. During such painful,
troubled periods you think that the seconds last as long as
the years. It seems as if time has reached the speed of light
and it has stopped totally.
When we
think about the stopping of time and the beginning of the
universe, then this leads us to the question ‘’What had
happenned before the beginning, or what was there before the
beginning’’?
It is
normal for us to have a tendency to think about such a
question.
The
reason is that when we say time has got formed with the
beginning of the universe, then we accept that there was no
time before the beginning of the universe. The mystic
philosophy has expressed this point as the ‘’dimension of
meaning’’. In this dimension there isn’t any place for time.
Time has been replaced by ‘’the Instant’’.
Allah’s Rasul Hz.Mohammad who has
been forwarded as a mercy for the universes describes the
Instant by the statement ‘’There is Allah and there is
nothing else together with Allah.’’
Also,
the following hadith points out the same fact ‘’When the
difference is realised, then only Allah is left’’.
These
deep words are expressed as ‘’An-I Daim/ The Continuous
Instant’’. The men of wisdom interpret this as ‘’The
revelation which does not contain any time’’.
In
general, in the dimension of multiplicity the existence is
evaluated in terms of forms, shapes/the material outlook,
but in the dimension of meaning all the events that are
experienced are shapeless, they do not have an image.
When
we look at the matter from this point, then it would be
appropriate to evaluate and describe the ‘’Instant’’ as ‘’The
Absolute Being’’ or ‘’The Knowledge/The science’’ .
