Time Theory

तन्नेति भिक्षुरात्रेयो न ह्यपत्यम् प्रजापतिः॥

प्रजाहितैषी सततम् दुःखैर्युञ्ज्यादसाधुवत्॥२४
कालजस्त्वेव पुरुषः कालजास्तस्य चामयाः॥
जगत्कालवशम् सर्वम् कालः सर्वत्र कारणम्॥२५॥

Translation: Bhikshu Atreya said " No. Prajapati who always looks after the best interest of his creations will not produce sorrowful conditions like a villain. 
(I propose) Time is the cause of organisms and their diseases. The whole world depends upon time and time is the reason everywhere.

Commentary (Chakrapani): The term Asadhu means one who betrays his children.


Commentary (Vishnu): Bhikshu Atreya (Different from Punarvasu Atreya) refutes the creator Theory by questioning the propriety of the creator in making his progeny suffer. This is one great flaw in using Anthropic principle. When we think of everything with an anthropocentric view we assign human motives to other entities. It is OK to have a talking rabbit in the fables but it is simply not true in real world.  
Theory proposed by Bhikshu Atreya has some distinct merit as everything happens in the way it happens because it happens at that particular time. In the space time continuum it can be visualized as sand clock or two cones joined at apex. Past is a cone narrowing down to present and future is a cone expanding to infinite possibilities. Which of the possibility becomes true depends upon the narrow bottleneck of the present. Thus time is an essential factor which shapes the events. By managing timing of the events we can direct the future. 
Time is the mold or die which imprints itslf on whatever passes through.
