The duration of the minute does not remain in a second.
Every second has no remaining at all. And there is no collection of the seconds that remains together.
Therefore what is the remaining? What is the duration of a minute?
Therefore the duration of a minute is a man-made concept.
The measurement of the duration is measured by the man-made concept. A year, a month, a day and an hour, they are all conceptually measured.
That is why Buddha says to see the conditioned things as they are, .......
A star, a mirage, a flame of a lamp,
An illusion, a drop of dew, or a bubble,
A dream, a flash of lightning, a cloud –
See conditioned things as such!
