called kAlanemi-nihA.
e) The dharma cakram writer points out that we should learn to use “time”
without wasting it for our personal pleasures, but to overcome the karma-s of
the past and to avoid accumulating karma-s for the future. The clock was
invented to measure time, and we use that to beautify ourselves instead of
learning to use it for making the best use of it. The nature of time is that you
don’t get it back after it is past. He who does not waste even a single moment
of it and devotes all the time in the service of God and His creatures is the
one who has utilized time properly, and thus won over time. Of all the indriyas
that we have for utilizing time, at least one of these indriya-s should always
be in the service of Him. The most precious possession that God has given to
mankind is Time. Those who use it properly overcome Time itself and reach
Him who is beyond Time.
