Concepts of Time at rest and Time in motion are proposed. . The meanings of time-space, time-flow, different phases of time-conscious and time-transcendent mind and thought processes are interpreted from basic physics principles and Upanishadic awareness An attempt is made to present a comprehensive insight of nature of time, thought process and conscious states (phases) of mind.
