a brief history of time

'Time' has fascinated the human psyche since the beginning of time! The ancient Indian Rishis and the Greek philosophers have dealt elaborately about the relativity and mutability of time. The Vedas and Upanishads have categorically asserted that 'Time' is a figment of imagination and a creation of the human mind to suit its practical needs. According to the ancient scriptures the reality cannot be grasped by the human mind but only by intuition and spiritual experience!
Einstein,the greatest scientist known also arrived at the same conclusions by scientific means. In his 'Theory of relativity' he has stated that time and space are relative and depend on the position of the observer.
Sr Aurobindo, an Indian mystic,who was educated in England also has observed while developing his 'Integral Yoga' that 'Time' cannot be grasped without transcending the mind.
Both the Eastern mystics and the Western scientists have arrived at the same conclusions by objective and subjective means. This has tremendous implications for future developments in Science and Spirituality. It is obvious that the future lies in a fusion of the two streams!
