Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda The one peculiar attribute we find in time, space and causation, is that they cannot exist separate from other things. Try to think of space without color, or limits, or any connection with the things around - just abstract space. You cannot; you have to think of it as the space between two limits, or between three objects. It has to be connected with some object to have any existence. So with time; you cannot have any idea of abstract time, but you have to take two events, one preceding, and the other succeeding, and join the two events by the idea of succession. Time depends on two events, just as space has to be related to outside objects. And the idea of causation is inseparable from time and space. (II. 135-36.)
