Can you imagine, what all things a Sand Timer (Hour Glass) can mean and represent ?

Answer 1

The Sand Timer or Hour Glass - what is its its shape. The Upper side of Hour Glass, the visions that all get from God, especially the sages who have a thorough VALUE system (Verified and Aligned Link within with THAT Ultimate Entity) instilled within. Perhaps in Eastern Philosophy can be called Vedas and Sruthi. They are like the Upperside of Hourglass, very vast, addressing so many issues of life in a Holistic Manner .... just like the wider upperside of the Hour Glass.

Now the middle neck of the Hour Glass, so thin that is made out of the visions and what is heard from sages, may be like the the butter or Ghee from the milk ... it can be called End of Vedas or Vedanta or Upanishads as in Eastern terminology...

Now from the Visions (Vedas) and what is heard (Sruti), thru contemplating on Vedas and Sruti the Essence (Vedanta or Upanishad the neck of Hour Glass) came. From there various practical laws for better form of living (the bottom spread of Hour Glass) ... They are called Science for living (What is called Shastra in Eastern Terms) and Smriti (meaning what is remembered of what is heard thru Sruti) and also the Sutra, the formulae for better living ( meaning proverbs and aphorisms from what is remembered ie Smriti).... perhaps this can be compared to the various products that are made out of Ghee or Butter, the products from the essence in the neck, again a wider bottom of Hour Glass indicating Vastness again.

It is said whenever there is doubt in Sutras ( the formulae, the proverbs or aphorims) we should look backward to Smriti and Shastras (what is remembered and Science) for clarification... whenever we are doubtful of memory or Science, clarify those doubts by getting back to Upanishads (the essence of what is heard) or Sruti (What is Heard) or Ultimately into the Vedas ( the Visions of those who are connected to God) ...

Imagine Quran, the Visions to Prophet Mohammed, the Veda part and when he told this, it is the Sruti part ... Sruti and Veda, the distinctions are so thin ...

Now to the point, Some consider Bhagavad Gita as an Upanishad, the neck of Hour Glass whereas some consider it as a Smriti (What is remembered to suit various situations) the lower portion of the Hour Glass ...

When we try to analyse anything, the essences or the Upanishad is very important ... the essence obtained out of contemplation on the visions or what is heard ... it is like carving out the pattern from the whole lot of, Ocean of things being said in various ways ...

"There is only One God and He is 100% Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient and we as various parts or istruments to Thee are supposed to maintain a communication link with THAT and act obediantly Thy commands with full confidence without doubts and botherations of End Results... because it is not we who are doing anything, but it is Thee who is doing Everything and we are just part of Thy Divine Will ...

Aspects of Dialectical Dianetics ...

It is probably this is the Hour Glass neck, the essence, the theme behind the lines that jk tries to keep within whatever he may utter or quote wherever or whenever or however according to his comprehension of the situation .... may be different quotes or different styles of expressions to suit the vastness of bottom side of the Hour Glass, for practical purposes .... but the essence probably is always this only ...
The knowers of the three vedas, who by drinking soma are purified of sins, worship me with sacrifices and pray for heaven. Reaching the holy world of the king of gods (Indra), they enjoy in heaven all celestial pleasures.

Hear it is pertinant to mantion a verse from Bhagwat Gita -

The knowers of the three vedas, who by drinking soma are purified of sins, worship me with sacrifices and pray for heaven. Reaching the holy world of the king of gods (Indra), they enjoy in heaven all celestial pleasures.

" - Bhagavad Gita - (chapter 9, verse 17)-

Answer 3

the obvious answer would be the inevitable ticking of the clock of our lives, each event sliding downward and away. However...what of memory? perhaps the glass is our mind, the sand trickling through it our memories, slowly fading until they are gone entirely.

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Each grain of sand could be a breath in your life, a person in your life, an event in your life, one less obstacle you have to overcome, one less sad moment you have to deal with, one less moment of pain you have to endure... Pax - C.
