Yugadi or Ugadi Festival, 21.03.04 - (6/14)

[Guest guest]

Lord Of The Time Is a Silent Witness

"I have often told you how God represents time in its various aspects. God is

described as 'Samvatsara". "Vatsara" means one who is engaged in sport.

'Govatsara', in referring to Krishna, means one who sports with cows.

'Samvatsara' means 'playing with all'. The time is available equally to all,

whether he is a millionaire or a pauper. Even an emperor is subject to passage

of time. Time is a witness to what everyone is doing. On a stage, there are a

number of lights. One light is turned towards an actor in the robe of king.

Another light is turned towards a beggar. Yet another light is focused on a man

reading the Ramayana. Another light may be focused on a fighting scene. Although

lights illumine a variety of scenes, they remain unaffected by the behaviour of

the actors. The lights simply bear witness to the

actions but no blame attaches to them for what the actors do. The actors alone

are affected by what they do. In the same manner, the Divine, as the Lord of

Time, remains only as a witness to the passing show. Your actions may be

unholy, but time remains untainted." Sai Baba, SS, 4/90, p. 91

Power Of Time Is Incomprehensible

"We regard Yugadi as marking the beginning of a New Year. In fact, it is one of

the forms of God. The entire cosmos is bound by time. It is permeated by time.

It is the product of time. It is destroyed by time. No one can comprehend the

power of time." Sai Baba. SS, 4/90, p. 89

Value Of Time

"Time is the most precious in human life" Sai Baba, SS. 4/96, p. 85

"Time is supremely precious. It waits for no one. Everyone has to submit oneself

to time. It is not subject to anyone. It is only when time is utilized properly

through right actions, then the human can rise to the level of Divine. Man's

foremost duty is to make the right use of time through the bodily vesture given

to him." Sai Baba, SS, 1/90, p. 9

"If money is lost, it can be earned again. If health is lost, it may be possible

to regain it. But time is lost, it can never be regained. So man should utilise

time at his disposal in the right manner. Money decreases only when you spend

it. But man's life-span decreases on its own with the passage of time. Every

individual should be aware of the scimitar called time hanging over his head

ever ready to strike. You should not become its victim. If time is wasted, it

cannot be regained. It is not like health and money, which can be regained."

Sai Baba, SS. 7/2000. pp. 202 & 203

Right Use Of Time

"Your primary duty is to make right use of time. For this purpose, there is no

need for you to wait for the beginning of a New Year. Every moment is a

manifestation of Time. From seconds to minutes, from minutes to hours, from

hours to days and months, and ' from months to a year - this is the endless

procession of time. The second is the basis for the year. Hence, every second

should be filled with purposeful action." Sai Baba, SS, 4/90. p. 91
