Time Devours All
It is a fact known to us all that with every minute of our
life that passes, we are all moving nearer and nearer to death. Despite this, only a few
persons think over this fact and make good use of this best opportune time with
a view to truly achieving truth and divine bliss.
Time moves on continuously. Nobody has the ability
in this universe to stop it. There are now deep oceans where there were
high mountains. There were empires of rulers whose cry made the earth shudder, today the
dilapidated remains of their kingdoms are no longer regarded.
The rich become penniless, the healthy turn
diseased, youth is quickly overcome with old age. Physical charms and health come
to an abrupt end and are often replaced by weakness and lusterless pallor. Thus,
every existing object in this universe is suffering from the fright of the
destructive dance (Tandavanrutya) of the horrifying demon that is time.
Is there any remedy for this? The answer
is affirmative. There is a method to conquer this vast ocean of
time. This can be achieved by a cautious and well planned use of
every moment of our life. With every drop of water, the tank gets
filled; with every pebble, a well gets erected; with every brick a
huge mansion is constructed. In a similar manner, the wise man who
properly utilizes his time for higher purposes can accomplish
advancement and prosperity in this life and the life hereafter.
