Time: Mystical Thy Ways

The plaque on an Indian Railway Station (Ayodhya)  inscribed in 'Hindi' reads: "birth-death, happy-sad, loss-profit, meeting with love-separation; is a 'Dance Of Time', passing like night-day as by itself."(from the writings of 'Tulsidas', a 16th century Hindu poet-saint, reformer and philosopher renowned for his devotion for the god Rama.)
