"Time and Space but exist in mind."

Time and Space have always fascinated my imagination.
Lured by imagination, I couldn't see that imagination too is but Time and Space.
At the Phenomenal level, this happened before those years 1980 when I was so deluded by the concepts of  Time and Space.
This was partly because at that time, I was infatuated with 'Science'.
Till that time (1980-84) I hadn't come across many Great Vedanta-texts, and so my knowledge of them may be perhaps scholarly to some extent, was superficial and book-learned.
Vedanta speaks candidly that only those who deserve the Supreme Truth can find out.
And Vedanta debars none, but stresses that mere indulging in intellectual pursuits could never help, and the same time keeps one away from this 'subject-matter' of Vedanta.
During those times I would try to understand what Sri Ramana Maharshi could have pointed out by His Teachings. And in a way, trying to meditate and contemplate, even inqire into The Self.
My key-note was :
श्रीरमण-गीता, अध्याय २, श्लोक २
--
हृदय कुहरमध्ये केवलं ब्रह्ममात्रम्
ह्यहमहमिति साक्षादात्मरूपेण भाति। ।
हृदि विश मनसा स्वं चिन्वता मज्जता वा,
पवनचलनरोधादात्मनिष्ठो भव त्वम् ॥

śrī ramaṇagītā 

hṛdaya kuhara madhye kevalaṃ brahmamātram 

hyahamahamiti sākṣādātmarūpeṇa bhāti |

hṛdi viśa manasā svaṃ cinvatā majjatā vā

pavanacalanarodhādātmaniṣṭho bhava tvam ||

-Chapter 2, stanza 2.

By some deep interest in and attraction towards the Teachings of Sri J.Krishnamurti, I could never put Him away at the same time.

During those times I meditated for long stretches of time almost the whole day sometimes.

I literally tried to find out the purport of the sense of 'I', though only now that I find, I can express this satisfactorily well enough in words.

During last five-six years I performed a पाठ / pāṭha of several Vedanta-texts in the original.

The correct way of understanding Vedanta and the Spirituality taught through the ancient texts is 

 पाठ / pāṭha only, and there is no way one should try to translate and interpret the same.

This is so because Veda is Poetry of a kind (छन्दस् / chandas).

This is the Spirit of the Spiritual.

I used to Read J.Krishnamurti in the same vein.

The early writings of J.Krishnamurti bear an aura of Poetry, and I loved His work :

"The Poems and Parables".

There is a title :

"Time and Space but exist in mind."

In the later years He changed the style of His writings though we glimpse the same Poetic-shade in His "Note-book." again.

Because of my University-education, I was also interested in Mathematics and Science as well, I could just understand the complexity of this Trivial Knowledge.

Sri Nisargdatta Maharaj's Teachings however totally changed my perception to the core.

But again, while going through my regular पाठ / pāṭha of  

शिव-अथर्वशीर्षम् / śiva-atharvaśīrṣam ,

when I came across the lines :

मन्त्र : अक्षरात् सञ्जायते कालः कालाद्व्यापक उच्यते । व्यापको हि भगवान् रुद्रो, भोगायमानो, ...यदा शेते  रुद्रस्तदा संहार्यते प्रजाः । उच्छ्वसिते तमो भवति......

--

mantra : akṣarāt sañjāyate kālaḥ kālādvyāpaka ucyate | vyāpako hi bhagavān rudro, bhogāyamāno, ... yada śete rudrastadā saṃhāryate prajāḥ | ucchvasite tamo bhavati ...

-- 

Which at once drew my attention to the Phenomenal and the Latent Potential Reality of :

भगवान् रुद्र / bhagavān rudra.

And I could see what J.Krishnamurti might have wanted to say through 

"Time and Space but exist in mind."

--

But then, I started questioning myself :

Exactly, to Who / What pertain to Time and Space?

There is an entity that first 'knows' only and then only afterwards imagines and names the Phenomenal in the words such as Time, Space, (and matter, energy as well).

--

That was the End.
