How does time measure from a cosmic energy point of view? The cycles of time based on the cosmos work together like the gears of a watch. Each connects with the central sacred cycle and all these "gears" rotate and also revolve – thereby creating what we can call energy portals. Did that sound confusing? Consider this then...

Every thing rotates – the universe, the solar system, earth. In fact, we term everything as 'cycles' or circles. We have a life cycle, a time cycle. We also say "Fashion has come a full circle". Many ancient cultures speak of cyclic changes in human consciousness. In the Hindu tradition, such ages are known as yugas. So, metaphysically speaking, everything is rotating and revolving.

Observe the movement of gears; you will notice that if a groove of one gear is to meet a groove of another gear, it has no other option but to wait till the rotation and revolution of both gears synchronise. How much time that will take, cannot be said. One thing is sure, though: there is no shortcut. We often experience the effect of this gear-movement in our relationships. For e.g., Ramesh and Suresh were close friends for many years. Suddenly, one fine day, they just separated and went their own ways. For many years, they didn't meet. Then, all of a sudden after many years, they meet at the marketplace, exchange numbers, and their relationship gets renewed.

The point is this meeting may look like a coincidence, but it is not. Nothing is a coincidence. It was meant to happen. The answer lies with the gear concept of time, when two gears in their cosmic map, got separated and had to wait for a period of time before being in touch again. So, it wouldn't be wrong to say that there is a time for everything. Translated, it would mean, we will have to wait till the gears meet.
