with all our fancy fantasies and clever talk
—these distinctions and quibbles—
still we find ourselves lost in the cave of samsAra
.
~vlm.p.1 rAma speaking:—By their much idle talk, ever doubting skepticism and schisms, men of little understandings are found to fall into grave errors in this pit of the world.
~m.1 People with mean mind and little intelligence rattle and babble about their meaningless fancies and imaginations. Thus causing unrestrained division, and differentiation (of the Supreme), they get dragged into the cave of "samsara".

there's nothing in the world that Time declines to eat
—voracious Time—
like the fabled submarine fire that eats even the ocean waves
.
*The #vADava submarine fire is an image used frequently in the Freedom Method. • #vADava, #vADaba, #vaDaba- *vāḍava *waaDawa - Submarine fire. • -n.-— Oceanographers speak-of two sorts of luminescence in seawater: algae that blink their light (thought to be a means of frightening predators); and gathered bacteria that glow constantly, for many days. Phenomena of the latter sort are well-known in the Indian Ocean near Somalia. Perhaps this is the origin of the metaphor, which will be encountered often as we proceed.
~vlm.p.4 There is nothing in this world which the all-devouring time will spare. He devours all things like an undersea fire consumes the overflowing sea.

~vlm.44. Time after a short rest and respite reappears as the creator, preserver, destroyer and remembrancer of all.
* Time is the kartA.doer - bhoktA.enjoyer - atha.next saMhartA.destroyer/terminator smartA.rememberer – sarva.padam gata: - passing through every state.

with a Doomsday party for diversion
with people stricken, ground to dust
this unBecoming Time takes pleasure in the splendor of Becoming by itself in Self
.

Time
is the Doer who enjoys
and then
the Terminator who remembers
having passed thru every state
