一位天文学家问，大师，你怎么看待时间呢？
阿斯回答说：
你感受着时间的无穷无尽。
随着时间和季节的流转，你不断调整自己的行为，指引自己灵魂的航向。
你坐在岸边，看着时间的溪水汩汩流淌。
然而，你内心感受到的无尽正是生命的无尽啊。
昨天只不过是今天对已逝时间的记忆，而明天是今天对没有到达的时间的预想。
如果你一定要拆分时间，划成一个又一个季节，就让每个季节包含着其他季节，
让今天包含着对昨日的怀念，也包含着对明天的憧憬。
原文：
And an astronomer天文学家 said, Master, what of Time?
And he answered:
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable无穷的.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course航向 of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank岸 you would sit and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness,
And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?
And is not time even as love is, undivided and placeless?
But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons,
And let today embrace拥抱，包含 the past with remembrance怀念 and the future with longing热望.
