3rd September, 1948
Three Anglo-Indian lady-doctors came from Bangalore. One of them had recently lost her husband in an air crash. She asked Sri Bhagavan:
Lady. Is there rebirth?
Bh. Do you know what birth is?
L. O yes, I know that I exist now, but I want to know if I’ll exist in the future.
Bh. Past!.... Present!.... Future!....
L. Yes, today is the result of yesterday, the Past, and tomorrow, the Future, will be the result of today, the Present. Am I right?
Bh.There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you will experience it. Therefore experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.
L. Are then Past and Future mere imagination?
Bh. Yes, even the Present is mere imagination, for the sense of time is purely mental. Space is similarly mental;therefore birth and rebirth, which take place in time and space cannot be other than imagination.
