Minimal time is a moment and a continuous flow is a sequence. There is, however, no real point of contact between a moment and its sequence. Day and night are all aggregates formed by mental conception. So, time is not a substantive reality, but only a mental concept. The present time is but a single moment, and there does not exist an earlier or later moment. So, there is no combination of past, present and future. Time is only a succession of moments, a period when mutations in real objects are felt.

A thing or object is what exists. So, a moment is not a thing, but the container of a thing that exists. Past or future cannot, therefore, be the container of a thing as they do not exist.

Due to our limited power of knowledge, what we are unable to see we call past or future; that which is not being congnized in the present. To one whose power of cognition is not restricted, or limited, there is nothing past or future. Everything is present. Therefore, time is, and we do move through a time sequence.

God consciousness is the state of consciousness in which one has the ability to know all things at one time. Also, an omniscient Being has no past or future, so everything is in the present to him. However, what does exist in the physical world, but due to its subtleness cannot be seen, is past and future. The mind itself is all pervading. It always has contact with everything, but because of its relationship to the body, or the state of individualization of mind, it has so narrowed itself down that knowledge is forced to come through a narrow channel. However, when the individual becomes purified and the grossness is gradually removed from the intellect and the individual reaches his highest form, then all objects past, present and future exhibit themselves before the mind and the eye at the same time and everything, therefore, resonates in the present, and this is the nature of eternity.
