The Upanishads

The Eternal Now

Brahman exists beyond time.

Brahman is not in the past, present, or future - it is eternal, unchanging presence. Time exists within Brahman; Brahman is beyond time.

There is no dissolution, no creation, no bondage, no seeker, no liberation, no one who is liberated - this is the ultimate truth.

Gaudapada, Mandukya Karika 2.32

From the absolute perspective, even liberation is appearance.
