The Journey Of Time
There are two laws governing the journey of time in this world.
• Firstly, the movement of time is cyclic i.e. without a beginning or an end. It is not linear i.e. a straight line with a beginning and an end, and
• Secondly, everything new undergoes degradation and becomes old at some point of time.
These two laws help us to understand the journey of time and why the world is in its present state.
We use time to attempt to measure change. One day is measured by the time taken by the earth to rotate around its axis. One day is our basic unit of measurement of time. One year is measured by the time taken by the earth to revolve around the sun. So the movement of time in our physical world is always cyclical. The cycle of the day, from dawn to daylight to dusk to night, is a movement that repeats with absolute constancy. A larger cycle is that of the seasons - from spring to summer to autumn to winter - which also repeat in the same way. When we become a detached observer and look at the 'big picture' of human history, we see an even larger cycle, the eternal world cycle of time – a cycle that moves from the day of humanity (where everything is positive on a physical as well as spiritual level) to the night of humanity and then back to the day of humanity to repeat again. But to believe and understand that picture completely, we first need to understand the second law of time and also connect it with the first law.
Tomorrow we shall explain the second law of time.

Message for the day 01-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who serves others is the richest.
Expression: To be in a position to serve others means to be aware of the resources
and treasures within. When all the powers that are within are used for
the benefit of the self and others they tend to multiply and increase.
So the
one who continues to serve others continues to become richer.
Experience:
When I serve, not only do I become richer with what I use, but for
having served unselfishly I also become richer with the blessings and
good wishes that emerge from the hearts of others. I am able to
experience the real
richness and beauty of life as there is a lot of love, happiness and
joy in my life.
