180—There are lesser and larger eternities; for eternity is a term of the soul and can exist in Time as well as exceeding it. When the Scriptures say "śāśvatīḥ samāḥ", they mean for a long space and permanence of time or a hardly measurable aeon; only God Absolute has the absolute eternity. Yet when one goes within, one sees that all things are secretly eternal; there is no end, neither was there ever a beginning.
How can one experience eternity?
By uniting with the Eternal, that is to say, with the Divine.
23 October 1969
