Summary
How can time both move and remain still? How can one moment be fully experienced forever without fading, without loss? The idea of a realm beyond time challenges everything we know. In the material world, every moment slips away, never to return—but in Krishna's transcendental pastimes, each moment exists eternally, while at the same time, His divine play unfolds in a continuous flow.
In this Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the mysteries of time as described in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, revealing how certain truths about time can only be understood through deep spiritual meditation—just as the great teachers of the Bhakti tradition have expressed.
Other thought-provoking questions include:
🔹 Does bhakti involve a form of spiritual "disassociation," and if so, is that a good thing?
🔹 What does it really mean to love Krishna, and how does that automatically bring the highest realization?
🔹 Is perfect pronunciation of the maha-mantra essential, or is intention more important?
Join us as we unpack these deep inquiries and reveal the spiritual science behind time, transcendence, and devotion.
🎧 Listen now and explore the timeless wisdom of bhakti!

| 0:00.0 | The philosophers speak of time as a power, as a force, as an energy. |
| 0:05.9 | And that energy is the energy that moves. |
| 0:08.5 | It moves matter. |
| 0:10.0 | It shifts things in this world. |
| 0:12.2 | It causes change and ultimately causes destruction. |
| 0:14.7 | That's the force of time. |
| 0:16.3 | You take any material structure, add some time to it, and it changes and ultimately becomes destroyed. |
| 0:23.4 | And so that's what we're speaking of. |
| 0:25.4 | We live in a world. |
| 0:26.8 | We have our only memory and our only experience that we're aware of is within a world where that force is always acting. |
| 0:36.8 | It's very difficult for us to conceive of anything outside that realm where things don't deteriorate, but not only that, and this is the really challenging part, because it would be like, okay, there's just a world where nothing falls apart. |
| 0:48.0 | That's interesting. |
| 0:49.4 | But the idea, and this is a really significant idea, there's an idea, and this goes to the point where |
| 0:54.8 | Balabudger is writing about the pastimes being eternal, is that there's any moment in the spiritual |
| 1:02.5 | realm, that moment doesn't deteriorate. In other words, that moment is never lost, right? |
| 1:10.8 | Yeah, that's the challenging thing to grasp. |
| 1:13.4 | Again, we're trying to understand. |
| 1:15.5 | It's like a person living in a 3D world trying to understand the fourth dimension. |
| 1:19.3 | It's like a person who's black, who only sees in black and white. |
| 1:23.3 | Now they have to understand what is full color. |
| 1:26.8 | How do you explain to a blind person what colors are? |
| 1:29.4 | Yeah. |
