Excerpt from The Concise Yoga Vasistha.
Rama: . . . All the hopes of man in this world are consistently destroyed by Time. Time alone wears everything out in this world; there is nothing in creation which is beyond its reach. Time alone creates innumerable universes, and in a very short time Time destroys everything.
Time allows a glimpse of itself through its partial manifestation as the year, the age, and the epoch; but its essential nature is hidden. This Time overpowers everything. Time is merciless, inexorable, cruel, greedy and insatiable. Time is the greatest magician, full of deceptive tricks. This Time cannot be analyzed; for however much it is divided, it still survives indestructible. It has an insatiable appetite for everything--it consumes the smallest insects, the biggest mountains, and even the king of heaven!
