“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
~ Albert Einstein
“The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.”
~ Alan Watts
“Time is the eternal now, seen through the narrow slit of the mind.”
~ Rupert Spira
“Experience is the only criterion by which the reality of anything can be decided. Time is believed to be composed of the past, present and future. Of these three, the past is past only in reference to the present, the present is present only in relation to the past, and future is future only in reference to the present. So all three being interdependent, even for their very existence, it has to be admitted by sheer force of logic that none of them is real. Therefore, time is not.”
~ Atmananda Krishna Menon
“Time is only an idea.
There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.”
~ Ramana Maharshi
“The past is an illusion. Nothing exists except the here and now.
Knowledge, surely, is always of time, whereas knowing (awareness/consciousness) is not of time.”
~ Bruce Lee
“Where the where is not, when the when is not, I am.”
~ Wu Hsin
“The Self is beyond time and space. It is infinite and hence of the nature of absolute happiness.”
~ Shankara
“You cannot suffer the past or future because they do not exist.
Memory creates a hallucination of the past, desire creates a hallucination of the future.
Time and space are just a creation of the mind, projections of consciousness.
Once you touch a dimension which is boundless, the idea of time and space disappears.”
~ Sadhguru
“If you are absolutely without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.”
~ Osho
