Because this is very important to understand whether time, not chronological time, but psychological time, can that come to an end ?
Or must there be always till I die this movement of I will be, I must not be, I should be, I shall not be regret, remembrance - you follow ?
the whole psychological activity in which time is involved.
That is, can time come to an end?
...
So therefore we must understand the nature of time. That is, psychologically, inwardly we are caught in a network of time.
I am going to die, I am afraid and I remember the happy things or painful things. And the brain is functioning, living in time. Right?
You can see this yourself. This is an obvious fact.
...
So part of meditation is to find out for oneself whether time can stop.
Not - you can't do this saying, 'Time must stop' it has no meaning. But to understand the whole structure and the nature and the depth of this question. Right?
That means: is it possible for the brain to realize that it has no future ?
Do you understand what I am saying ?
...
can you tolerate that there is no tomorrow psychologically ? Can you ?
That is part of meditation to find out psychologically there is no tomorrow.
...
' I shan't meet you tomorrow, whom I love'
do you understand what I am saying?
I may meet you, I probably will but the hope, the pleasure the looking forward to something all that is involved in time.
Which doesn't mean if you have no hope that you discard hope which means that you understand the movement of time. If you discard hope then you become bitter then you say, 'Why should I live, what is the purpose of life?' and all that nonsense begins - depression, agony to live without anything in the future
do you understand all this?
So one has to go into this question not verbally not theoretically but actually to find out psychologically in yourself if you have the slightest sense of tomorrow.
