Swami Kriyananda, reflecting on Bhagavad Gita 2:24, explains that the soul is immutable, eternal, and untouched by time or space—both of which are illusions. He shares teachings from his guru and spiritual anecdotes to illustrate that reality exists only in the eternal present. Perspective and distance are mental constructs; truth is “center everywhere, circumference nowhere.” Science cannot reveal this level of understanding, but yoga and devotion can. Kriyananda recounts an encounter with the ancient Book of Bhrigu, which accurately described his life centuries in advance, illustrating that time does not exist for higher consciousness. Through countless past lives, humans seek fulfillment until they realize their true goal is God. Just as the past is a dream, so is the future; both veil the reality that we are already one with God. Spiritual progress is simply removing layers of delusion and living in the eternal now, where divine truth and freedom are found.
