However, Krishnamurti questioned this traditional view, suggesting that our perception of time is flawed and that it has become a significant obstacle to our growth, freedom, and understanding. According to him, time is not a linear progression but a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that can be both a useful tool and a limiting factor.

Krishnamurti argued that our conventional understanding of time is based on a false premise: that time is a measurable, quantifiable entity that can be divided into past, present, and future. He claimed that this division creates a sense of separation, leading us to perceive ourselves as separate from others, from the world, and from the present moment.

Krishnamurti also explored the relationship between time and the self. He argued that our sense of identity is deeply tied to our perception of time. We define ourselves by our experiences, memories, and achievements, which create a sense of continuity and coherence.

The illusion of time leads us to believe that we can change, grow, and evolve over time. We think that if we can just get to a certain point in the future, we’ll be happy, fulfilled, or enlightened. However, Krishnamurti argued that this approach is fundamentally flawed. He claimed that change, growth, and evolution are not the result of time but of our awareness, attention, and understanding.
