Timeless in Lockdown

I was sitting totally engrossed on my work on laptop. My mother came and asked me something casually remarking “…since today is Wednesday…” I immediately looked up surprised, “why! it’s Thursday today, not Wednesday’’. She exclaimed how we lost track of day and date sitting at home with our monotonous routines. I went back to work and a short while later casually looked up, at the time bar on my Mac, and it’s Friday!

One thing everyone of us is experiencing during COVID 19 lockdown is losing our sense of time. We forget which day of week it is, no difference between weekday and weekends. We lose track of time in our monotonous schedules locked inside of our homes. By not going out into Sun, our bio-clocks are disrupted, we sleep and wake up at odd hours. In a nutshell many reasons to lose track of time. All this is bound to create mental strain and stress.

But there is some good news in this state of affairs. There are some reasons to celebrate. We are out of the tyranny of time and clocks on our lives, finally. Yaay!!! We are not bound by time anymore.

All our scriptures and gurus keep telling us we are eternal timeless beings. We are beyond time-space continuum. Some of us, of course experience this in our meditations but it's a rare chance for rest of us to experience time-less-ness, thanks to COVID 19 lockdown.

While all this is stressful and frustrating as lockdown is further extended, may be it is telling us, it is time for us to just sit back and enjoy this time-less-ness for now!
