The Unmanifest and the Manifest...

To avoid being lost in the bewildering diversity of the play of maya, it is necessary to remember the essential unity between the Absolute and the relative, between the Unmanifest and the manifest.

The understanding of Truth is not a matter of time. Indeed, it is prior to the concept of time.

When it takes place, it happens suddenly, almost as a shock of timeless apprehension.

It means a sudden cessation of the process of duration, a split-second when the functioning of time itself is suspended and integration takes place with what is prior to relativity -- direct apprehension of the Absolute.
