And whilst time is concerned among the actor and the motion, there are different components entering being, as a result the motion is rarely whole. I intend to renounce something—that is, i'll do it the next day to come. what's occurring among now and the next day to come? there's an period, a lag of time. In that house, there are different components coming in, different pressures, different traces. accordingly what will be is changed already, and so is my motion. So the motion is rarely whole. I start to do whatever the next day to come, inwardly—give up, do, conform, imitate, and so on—and there are different components, different pressures, different traces, different situations that come and intrude; for that reason there's continuously, among what's and what may be, the motion that's being transformed forever, and for this reason such motion isn't entire. Madras, 4th Public speak, January 2, 1966 gathered Works, Vol. XVI, pp. 21-2 The altogetherness of time is the energetic current. A verb is in its essence the energetic current, is it no longer? The verb “to be” contains “has been,” “being,” and “will be”—that which was once, that that is, and that that's to be. yet so much people are excited about the development of what has been, via what's, to what's going to be. that's our existence, and 123 we are functioning, appearing in these phrases: the previous flowering in, and being converted through the current, thereby developing the longer term. Our motion, that's already made up our minds through the day prior to this, is changed through at the present time and shapes what's going to be day after today. In different phrases, for many folks the reason and the impression are separated through an period, a spot within which the reason inexorably turns into the impression, and which by way of Indians is mostly known as karma. Now, if you happen to learn very heavily this chain of reason and impact, you will discover that our motion isn't so thoroughly depending on the unique reason, yet may perhaps come up from anything completely varied. that's, a mango seed will consistently produce a mango tree, by no means a palm or a tamarind. The reason is fastened within the very nature of the mango seed, and it produces a set influence. It can't do differently than produce a mango tree. yet with us the location is sort of various, simply because what used to be an impression turns into a reason, that's regularly being converted within the current via quite a few affects, and should accordingly produce an impression completely varied from the unique reason. So with people the reason is rarely fastened, it's consistently present process a transformation, and that modify is mirrored in destiny motion. the certainty of this truth is the complete comprehension of motion. New Delhi, seventh Public speak, March 6, 1960 accrued Works, Vol. XI, p. 364 there's just one overall action—which is to die, death. there's just one motion that's overall; that's demise. correct? there is not any argument, no highbrow quibbling approximately demise. there isn't any opinion, you don't cite your spiritual books, you can't break out from it, you can't keep away from it. you don't ask dying, “Give me one other day. ” So there's just one overall action—which is to die, demise.
