The true nature of time...

What every human being may bring within his own personal experience is the "stuff" out of which both past and future are made, the mind-essence from which their successive thought-structures are born; he may know the One, even if he may not know the many.

When we begin to understand the true nature of time we perforce revise our attitude towards it. We learn never to be in a hurry, to work without haste, and to build slowly but surely like corals.

His work is to keep still even though time is rushing by; the more it hurries the more firmly he is to remain outside the rushing current, implacably set in timelessness.
