Title: Time and Space

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Size: 36 Inch/72 Inch

Time is opaque as it resists light and Space is transparent and substratum of cosmos. When there was nothing Time was there and when there will be nothing, Time will be there. Time is absolute and ever present and measureless. The power of deliberation and power of expression respectively manifest themselves through the determinant of space, here symbolized by the square. Space is female (Yoni), Time is male (Ling).

The square of human experience with the four directions extending to infinity ,projecting the four regions between the directions north,south,east and west, the dimensions unfold as the three qualities(sattva,rajas,tamas) of nature(prakriti) and a fourth which is ego-sense(Ahamkara) out of which the grosser elements of the world are evolved.

Sattva(Bright Golden yellow): Essence or balancing force

Rajas(Red):  Dynamic quality

Tamas(black): State of inertia

Ahamkara(Green): ego-Sense

According to Indian philosophy whole purpose of life is to overcome Tamas,Rajas, and Ahamkara and achieve state of  purity of sattva. There is Only way to overcome Tamsa is through physical labor,Rajas can be overcome  by doing work, which stills one's mind. Offer fruits of all your good work to the Supreme and it will kill Ahamkara.There remains Satva after winning Tamas,Rajas and Ahamkara.

"Be still and know that I am GOD". (Psalm 46:10)
