Time have the most powerful way of healing. The time shows us all our plans and ideas about our life can be shattered in a second. Time again can rebuild our castle from that shattered pieces. No human is bigger than time. The day we plant the seed is not the day we eat the fruit. We have to wait for right time for the nature to unfold itself. All our old scriptures also showing us the way to unfold our perspective. Those perspectives that force us in a delusion. The delusion that keeps us separate from each other by telling us materialistic things are more reliable than humans and their feelings. This time is well described by Bhai Gurdas Ji in Vaar 1, Pauri 7 of 49.
