Time is a movement of disorder. Can you end disorder not sometime in the future but immediately? Please understand this question – really it is a very important question to go into. Which is, we are conditioned to accept time as a means of changing, psychological changing. That is our conditioning. We say, ‘Next life, or this life, give me a period of time and I will change.’ The speaker says that very movement of time is the continuance of disorder. Do you see that? I am discovering something myself, which is: the continuance of ‘what is’ is disorder, which is time. So can you look at ‘what is’ without the idea of time? Which is, not to change ‘what is’ but observe ‘what is’ without any movement or desire to change it, so you have the total energy which had been expended in time, trying to change ‘what is’ into ‘what should be’. This is a waste of energy. This wastage of energy has ended; therefore you have energy now, which is to observe ‘what is’ without time, which means without the desire to change ‘what is’. To observe ‘what is’ without the desire to change means that you have got energy with which to face ‘what is’. So there is no time interval, therefore there is a radical change of ‘what is’.
