Autumn
The quiet hour (Brahma Muhurta) is the traditional time for practice, just before sunrise.
क्षणप्रतियोगी परिणामापरान्तनिर्ग्राह्यः क्रमः
kṣaṇa-pratiyogī pariṇāmāparānta-nirgrāhyaḥ kramaḥ
Sequence is the succession of moments, recognised at the end of a transformation.
Yoga Sutras 4.33 · verse 195 of 196
Unfolding the thread
What is time? A succession of moments, seen only when a change is complete, the way you notice a child has grown only when you look back. At the end of the path, the whole sequence becomes visible at once.
Try today
Look back at yourself a year ago. Notice the change you couldn't see day by day.
The Echo
The same truth, heard in another tradition
“For Time’s self is nought and the dial’s face.”
