Acharya Prashant explains that the concept of having time to spend is an illusion of the imagination. He asserts that time does not exist as a tangible quantity that one can possess or spend; rather, the present moment is so fleeting that it vanishes before it can even be identified. He distinguishes between having life and having time, stating that while living is possible, the act of spending time is not. When an individual is truly present and immersed in an experience, the consciousness of time disappears entirely. It is only when one is mentally outside of an action or feeling afraid that time becomes a prominent concern.
