The spirit trapped inside the material perceives the time by the changes that are taking place within and outside. The real state of the spirit is that which doesn't change, but due to interaction with material it perceives the change through the consciousness. If the consciousness of spirit merges with the super consciousness of the omnipotent, omnipresent being then again the spirit doesn't have a time to perceive. The universe becomes static yet the spirit holds its individual identity.
But within the material nature, the spirit reveals its true nature through a few highly qualified individuals who by practice bring out the full potential of the soul(spirit). These individuals can be called rishis, tantriks or by any other fancy name as may be necessary. Some of these are genuine but many of them are imposters.
The ordinary living entity continues its interaction with the universe in terms of material perspective. But the sages and rishis have told a many times that "TRUTH IS ONE, BUT PEOPLE CALL IT DIFFERENT NAMES". Many a living entities continue their existence without putting efforts to know the truth and those who go on the path of finding the truth are guided by their gurus. Some of these will realize the truth and most will different stages of realization.
We human beings perceive time though our senses which capture the information and sends it to the brain which processes the minute changes giving the individual a sense. Every being that exists has had a past, might have a future and then there is the present stage. The being who has control of his senses and the mind can become oblivious to the changes in the universe outside and inside and thus can be independent of time.
For such a exalted being there is no time and he would have realized the his true self ie., the spiritual existence. These persons shall see everything as a mere interaction independent of time. The movie character of "Griffin" in MIB-III who is a fifth dimensional being and could see several universes simultaneously. To understand the world through its material interactions we require position and time, but to understand the spiritual world I believe no dimensions are necessary because everything that exists is one single entity with one dimension i.e. the spiritual dimension.
There is no difference that exist between one spirit and another in the spiritual world and hence the dimension that becomes necessary is the level of consciousness. For the beings who have merged their consciousness with super consciousness, for the beings who have controlled their senses and mind there is no dimension of time and position or any other material dimensions. These beings just see the unlimited energy that exists.
To help those who are lower levels of consciousness they tend to interact with the beings of material world and give solutions to the seemingly permanent problems of temporary stage of beings. A pooja to the supreme being is a way of ensuring some interactions of certain energies to pave a way for a particular king of result. The universe is static for the spiritual being but is continuously changing for a material being.
With a particular kind of interaction of a particular set of souls in the material world a certain result is expected and this can be achieved by the guidance of wise men. Hence the bigger the problem, the bigger is the requirement of kind of pooja is suggested so that a particular set of people have to come together and interact. With the people coming to these religious functions reducing, the result that could been achieved is also not becoming possible.
The learned people of this land have understood the spiritual realm and have given certain guidelines for the realization of the real world to the ordinary. But the ordinary men want to treat themselves with the material things, hence there shall be only suffering, misery. The levels of suffering that we are witnessing in the present times, are not necessarily required for the existence of the life as we are living it.
