What is the essence of time?

Timelessness arises when desire fades, revealing the eternal now, while the outer clock continues its relentless march.

— Osho
According to Osho, time has two faces: outer clock time and inner psychological time. The essence of time is the inner flow created by passion, desire and craving; happiness contracts it, suffering expands it. In meditation, when desire ends and bliss beyond joy and sorrow dawns, inner time drops to zero—timelessness—while the outer clock keeps ticking. Living here-now dissolves tomorrow’s projections.

Time is mostly a feeling your wanting creates inside; when you stop craving and rest in the present, that inner time disappears even though the clock still runs.
