The Guru Granth Sahib said:
Whatever the Lord does, He does all by Himself.
In an instant, He establishes, and destroys.
I asked my teacher how can this Universe be established, or destroyed in an instant, when it takes months to even build a single house.
My teacher said that time and its measurement has a different meaning for each piece of existence. For a planet, one lifetime has a different meaning than for a human being. And all human beings do not achieve equally within the same life period. The achievements of some stand head and shoulders above their colleagues. Even within the same person, time has a different meaning on different days
“And all that in just one night? What happened to Time?” he smiled. Tapping my head, he said, “Your Universe is here. Master yourself, and make it the way you want.”
Guru Granth Sahib says:
Those who conquer their own mind, by Teacher’s Grace,
They conquer the Universe.
