Editing Time (section)

==== Time in Advaita Vedanta ====
According to [[Advaita Vedanta]], time is integral to the phenomenal world, which lacks independent reality. Time and the phenomenal world are products of [[Maya (religion)|''maya'']], influenced by our senses, concepts, and imaginations. The phenomenal world, including time, is seen as impermanent and characterized by plurality, suffering, conflict, and division. Since phenomenal existence is dominated by temporality (''[[Kāla|kala]]''), everything within time is subject to change and decay. Overcoming pain and death requires knowledge that transcends temporal existence and reveals its eternal foundation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Puligandla |first=R. |date=1974 |title=Time and History in the Indian Tradition |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1398019 |journal=Philosophy East and West |volume=24 |issue=2 |pages=165–170 |doi=10.2307/1398019 |jstor=1398019 |issn=0031-8221 |archive-date=13 June 2024 |access-date=13 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240613231718/https://www.jstor.org/stable/1398019 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription }}</ref>
