The experience of a world in which time seems to be accelerating out of control indicates total preoccupation with mundane concerns. Modern society provides every possible facility but no means to develop our inner life. It takes time to transcend time. We must find the time and space to be alone with ourself, to discover ourself, to realize the source of our Self, which is beyond time. This timeless potential state exists within each one of us, here and now, but it is not accessible to our intellect.
