Mahakaal Jyotirlinga - mystery of time Part 4

Now, tell me when my Kaal is Aham kaal then what will be this universal divine Kaal?

They thought over it and replied after a short pause. Its Mahakaal.

Okay, let me explain it in a different way. when we talk about speed of a car, we measure speed with something abstract called time. We are comparing a known motion of the sun with an unknown motion of the car. Time is the way to compare or describe different types of motion like speed of light, pace of heart beats or earth’s spin frequency around its axis. These motions are compared with motion of sun across the sky or any other standard motion without making any reference to time.

It suggests that time may not have any independent existence, it may just be a common unit of motion that makes description of changing world easier.

The core is non-existent time called Shunya and is termed Mahakaal.

So, you know now…

Rashmi intervened, she asked that time is cyclical as we know but isn’t it a straight line as per Bhootnath concept?

It was an intelligent question.

Shiv – Shiva, as explained earlier sets the direction of flow of time. The time flows and creates an experience called life. So, you see time and life are connected.

We know that physicists observe the frequency distribution of energy in space as spectrum of Infrared, visible and ultraviolet range and in terms of time as parts of past, present and future.

Shiv-Shiva explains existence of all the time as a part of the sphere of light. The time moves on periphery forming Kaalchakra. As one jumps into the sphere leaving the first kaal chakra and gradually moves towards the centre of the sphere all the time merges back into one single entity. Tantrayog describes various ways to move from the existence in 3D space & 1D time to 1D space and 3D time and then transforms this into 1D space and 1D time.

One thing that remains is that the time flow is experienced in cycles be it day and night cycles of 24 hours or Nityas cycle through Lunar phases to form a month or earths cycle around sun forming a year.

On keen observation, one could notice that this cyclicity introduces another aspect of time called force. A balanced pull towards and away from centre. In scientific terminology, a balanced state of centripetal and centrifugal force.

To understand it better let’s take an example of earth revolving around sun. The often overlooked but important aspect of time here is that forces also act in time.

Now, from a distant observation point of a fixed time if we see time gets slower in the space where these two objects are moving. We will see slow motion and proportionally weak gravitational force else they will get pulled towards each other. If we observed faster time then we could expect to see faster motion and stronger gravity to keep the objects from flying apart. Similarly, with zero time motion will freeze and gravity will become zero. This understanding could be extended to particles held with electromagnetic forces and hence time involves both motion and forces.

In Sri Yantra these chakras of time are experienced with life forces, visible as Devis. These Devis or forces ensure flow in a specific direction. This directional flow is a very important aspect as it’s the basis for all creation and destruction. The srijan and samhar is result of the direction of these flows.

Hope it’s clear now. So, these time cycles having Devis are termed as Bhairavi Chakras of Shri yantra. 

Each chakra has its own time speed, which is faster than the previous chakra. The time is faster in small chakra compared to their previous chakra.

He asked, does this mean that time changes its pace on a scale.

Yes, why not? It could even be a different scale altogether. Think of a situation when you were very happy, did you notice how the time passed?

No, it seems that time has moved fast and entire day passes like a click.

Right, now think of a situation when you were feeling sad

Ok, now observe the pace of time for you?

He said, “Time was almost non-moving. Each second was very heavy and slow”.

Notice, that the time realisation is as per my emotional state and hence accordingly experienced.

The experience of speed of time changes basis emotional state.

Each next Chakra in Shri Yantra is new emotional state and hence the time moves at different speed in different chakras.

We never read it anywhere or on google, she said.
