Core Insight:
According to Osho, Mahavira called the soul 'time' because what distinguishes consciousness from matter is the inner dimension of temporality—samaya—the still, balanced awareness through which being knows itself. Matter merely occupies space; consciousness lives as time. At the crossing of space and time we exist, but the soul is time’s silent core: equanimous, nondual presence beyond passing change (kaal), akin to Einstein’s spacetime insight in spiritual terms.
