Bit of an off topic one but ive been reading about our traditions during this pregnancy and got curious about how jainism views time. Anyone knows about this?
Its basically a cyclical concept, like a clock that keeps rotating between progress and decline. Honestly, pregnancy makes u appreciate these deep philosophical ideas about time because every week feels like an era!
Since I recently delivered, I realize how true this cyclical view of time is. One moment u are waiting forever for labor, and the next, your baby is already a month old. Its beautiful how Jain philosophy explains time as endless cycles.
This is such a deep question! I was just reading about Jain traditions recently, and its so beautiful how they view time as infinite and cyclical, makes our daily worries feel so small.
Actually, Jainism sees time as a wheel without any beginning or end, divided into two halves called Utsarpini and Avasarpini. I was reading up on this during my bed rest, and even my doctor said keeping your mind busy with reading good spiritual books is great for babys development!
I read about this when I was resting during my high-risk PCOS pregnancy. Jainism views time as a wheel with six eras of happiness and sorrow. It really taught me patience during my long journey to become a mother.
Humare ghar pe badi-budhi kehti hain ki samay ka chakra chalta rehta hai. Jainism mein bhi time ko ek gol chakki ki tarah maante hain jo kabhi rukti nahi, bas dukh aur sukh ke chakkar chalte rehte hain.
