Hare Krishna dear devotees, I have a question about Time.
Everywhere time is mentioned in the scriptures as an element of the material manifestarion, it is called “eternal time”. Why is it “eternal”, if it is a material creation?
Thanks

Krishna Has given us so many indications that the path of detachment is superior to being tarratorel the being clean pure & celebratory, is superior to being attached to being *hipper viggalent about being influential / being the "the cause of an some effect"
Liberation purity, health & prosparity (R)all more resultant of a God centered existence that a Self centred One*?! A life lived with an
A-Kahma philosophy & which is also God Centred, and *The Time ellaments & it's defects & even positive creative & even progressive evolution is completely possible. As is eternal/invensable faith in this Lifetime iF*

śrī-bhagavān uvāca
kālo ’smi loka-kṣaya-kṛt pravṛddho
lokān samāhartum iha pravṛttaḥ
ṛte ’pi tvāṁ na bhaviṣyanti sarve
ye ’vasthitāḥ praty-anīkeṣu yodhāḥ
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you [the Pāṇḍavas], all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain.(BG 11.32)
Time is eternal because it is a manifestation of Krsna. Krsna above says - I am time
Īśvara (the Supreme Lord), jīva (the living entity), prakṛti (nature), kāla (eternal time) and karma (activity) are all explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. Out of these five, the Lord, the living entities, material nature and time are eternal. However, the other item, karma, is not eternal. (Introduction BG As it is)
Hare Krsna
