For most things in life, you need time: to learn a new skill, build a house, become an expert, make a cup of tea.... Time is useless, however, for the most essential thing in life, the one things that really matters: self realization, which means knowing who you are beyond the surface self- beyond your name, your physical form, your history, your story.
Spiritual seekers look for self realization or enlightenment in the future. To be a seeker, implies that you need the future. If this is what you believe, it becomes true for you: you will need time until you realize that you don't need time to be who you are.
