Practitioners of meditation might notice that time tends to feel elastic during their sessions—sometimes flying by, other times stretching out. This perception occurs as the mind gradually releases its sharp focus and unwinds into a deeper state of serenity within our core being. This experience is present not only in our waking hours but also mirrors our dream states.
In dreams, one may live through extensive periods—days, months, or even years—only to awaken to the realization that it was merely a dream. Conversely, after sleeping for several hours, an individual may feel as though only moments have passed yet retain clear recollections from moments before sleep.
In moments of meditation, when we encounter a flash of our true essence, we often find that post-meditation, the external world seems to unfold at an unhurried rhythm, creating a serene and calming ambience. Then, we return to the busy world, lost in our endeavors and carried by the restless flow of thoughts.
Following numerous attempts and perseverance in turning our attention inwards to monitor our thoughts, we enter a condition of being mere observers, and in this space, it appears as though time has halted.
Beyond duality, from a higher viewpoint, time and motion do not exist. Only pure joy, infinite consciousness, and deep existence remain—constant and unchangeable. Beyond what we perceive is an inexpressible truth. You are this ultimate reality, not just a part, but whole.
Your present physical form is transitory; you are timeless, shapeless, and eternal. Meditation helps recognize your true nature.

Dear Suresh, once someone has recognized their true nature through meditation, how can they integrate this understanding into their everyday interactions and decisions?
Nicely written. thank you
Dear Muthu, Upon realizing one's authentic self, such inquiries become superfluous. Self-discovery transcends intellectual comprehension, drawing from intuitive knowledge rather than reasoned analysis. As a candle, it is imperative to utilize your flame to illuminate your path. However, when you embody the Sun, these questions cease to emerge.
