How should we understand and properly utilise time in this ever-changing world? Bhagawan reminds us today and blesses us on this occasion.

In this changing world, God is the changeless entity. God is all-pervasive and can be experienced anywhere. He is worshipped as Kala Kalaya Namah, Kala Swaroopaya Namah and so on. Without Time, there is no world. Without the world, there is no creation; without creation, there is nothing. Every created thing is born of Time. New Year Day proclaims the truth that God is the Master of Time. Unfortunately, man fails to understand the power of God. He wastes three-quarters of his time in unworthy earthly pursuits. Spiritual pursuit is the right way of making use of time. It calls for nurturing good feelings and doing good deeds without selfish motive, extending love and compassion towards all beings. This is real Sadhana. Sa means Atma, and Dhana means wealth. By utilising your time in spiritual pursuits, you can enjoy spiritual wealth. But, man wastes all his time in unholy thoughts and evil deeds without understanding the divinity within him. One should understand the value of time, each moment of which vanishes faster than lightning.
