Like woodcutters in the forest of time, we attempted to pile up and secure several moments, however, time is like a vessel filled with holes. One by one, each moment touched us and slipped by. Since time immemorial, we have spent infinite energy attaining knowledge of the non-self and trying to do something to it. Neither has the race towards the non-self ended, nor has possessiveness towards it decreased, nor has arrogance dissolved.

Now, with the strength of the Guru’s teachings, let us become free from this vicious cycle, spiritually uplift our lives, shake off the importance of the non-self and connect to the Eternal Consciousness within.

The words of wisdom compiled in this book will bring acquaintance with the Truth and one’s infinite potential. Through awareness of the Self it will reveal the key to eliminate all miseries. By understanding the entanglements of ignorance and shedding them, let us abide in the infinite ecstasy of the Soul and utilise this opportune and rare human birth as a ‘Time to Awaken’.
