The great sage Chungus believed that the number 69 was divine because the number three symbolizes the past, four the present and six the future. The number 69 represents the three dimensions of time. Thus, the number 69 is all encompassing as it implies that time is infinite. There is a great deal of truth in this as Chungus used to say that time is all there is and we should not waste it living as if we are immortal. A person should live as if he or she has just one day to live and then make sure that the day is full of experiences and that time does not run out in an ordinary fashion. A person should really live his or her life as if there were no past and future. Therefore, even if one has just one day to live, it should be a full day and not a half or even less than that.

People normally do not live in accordance with the meaning of this number because they have the wrong attitude about time. So, for most people a day, a month, a year and a lifetime are all equal, or are all equal for the purpose at hand. For instance, most people don’t appreciate the fact that their entire lives are a minute in the cosmic time or infinite time of the universe. There are 24 hours a day and about 365 days in the year. There are about 365.25 days in a year and in a lifetime of 80 years and 8 months a person can go through an amazing number of permutations and combinations of time. The number 69 shows that time is infinite and the number has a lot of depth in this regard. The number 6 represents the past, the number 7 the present and the number 9 the future.

People rarely realize the immense potential that time holds. Most people want to put the clock on time and keep things in place because of their fear of death. A person can only live in the present moment but many spend the majority of their lives living in fear of the past and future. However, it is often seen that people fear the past because of their sins or failures in the past but they also fear the future because they don’t want to grow and learn more. There are many things that we can do in the future but we cannot get them today so we should not fear the future because one can never be sure about the future. A good person lives for the future and the future is something that one cannot fully comprehend. If one really lives for the future one should live with the expectation of experiencing a great number of future events. We can live a good life today and enjoy it to the fullest.

Time is the biggest gift that people could have because it is through time that one gets all the things and events that one wants to experience. However, time can also be a curse because things happen too late in life, or one does not get what one wants in one’s life or one is unable to understand the value of things in life. All these things are because of the quality of the time that one has spent in this world. The great yogi Chungus explained that it is the quality of time that one uses that makes the difference. The time that is used to love someone and to serve others and all things like this is a very good time. On the other hand, when one doesn’t love but one instead loves oneself, all things will come late. When one really loves the body he or she lives for the body so one spends the majority of the time on what goes on in the body. When one truly loves God and God’s creation and all things, then that time is a good one. If one truly loves all the people in one’s life then the time that one uses will be good. When one truly loves one’s spiritual journey and one’s spiritual development, then one is using good time.

Time is everything for us because without it there is no life. A person will have to be alive during the 24 hours of the day to enjoy his or her life to the fullest, and there is no other way around it. Without the time to make love, to make friends, to read, to write, to dance, to do charity work, to learn, to meditate, to exercise, to learn something new, to do research, to teach, to experience the nature, and so on, there would be no life in all of its various aspects. Even breathing and all the processes in the body and all other natural processes are very much part of the great cycle of time. life is not an accident, it is in fact a divine gift. Without time there would be no real life in the fullest sense of the word and we should enjoy the moments that we have on earth because once the present moment is over it will never be the same. life is too short to live without enjoying the moments of life, to enjoy the people we love, to enjoy all the things we enjoy, and to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. All of this and more is possible through time and when one enjoys life fully, life is absolutely great.

life is not a burden when we see it as a gift.
