In the Presence of Time
~ Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
The teaching “The justice of time” reminds me of the impartial and neutral nature of time. This realization gives me the strength and understanding to not get caught up in anger or other emotions about outer events that may seem unfair. It encourages me to keep following the path of dharma and keep remembering the Truth at all times.

“The justice of time” makes me think of the garden of my mind where whatever I sow, I will reap. If I sweep my garden and keep it well looked after, in time that will influence the way that my life unfolds. So, the goal is to never give up but to trust in “the justice of time.”

I was heartened to read Gurumayi’s teaching “The justice of time.” It gave me faith that, through God, all things in the world eventually come to their own proper fruition. For me, this is particularly relevant in today’s world, where there is so much strife and division. I was reminded that Shri Bhagavad Gita says the great beings come to this plane when they are needed, and they help us to set the world right.

“The justice of time”—I love this teaching. To me it confirms that time is the witness of all that is, has ever been, and ever will be. It knows all of our strivings, failings, and successes. In time, all our actions have consequences that are based on impeccably unbiased knowledge. This is not cold justice, as I believe that all along the way I am provided with hints and urgings that encourage me to be as loving and compassionate as I can. And it seems to me that every effort I make to do this is magnified by God’s love.

When I contemplated this teaching, I thought about how, according to the principle of karma, every action taken in the present produces its own effect. “The justice of time” made me think of how, in time, everything eventually becomes balanced and equal.
