What is the essence of time?

Synthesized from Source definition

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

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.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces anxiety by shifting from future-driven craving to present awareness.
- Guides meditation: notice desire, let it fall, taste timelessness.
- Improves daily life: enjoy what is instead of chasing a tomorrow that never arrives.
