Without transcendence, life has no beauty. In order to live a full life, one should go beyond all boundaries. As the Sufi poet Rumi said, "Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing there is a field. I'll meet you there."
Time-bound awareness occurs when the self is relinquished for the self-image which acts like a protective mask behind which we hide (Chopra, 2002). Time-bound awareness is burdened by guilt and sorrow which is rooted in fear and might cause entropy.
As Chopra states, the self is between our thoughts. Trusting that the right response would come to every situation as it occurs and not being fearful of the future creates a state of bliss. This might also be referred to as the state of intuition. Time-bound awareness is in the intellect; it calculates. On the contrary, timeless awareness is in the heart; it feels.
In Emerson's words "Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar."
