Zamani is macro-time absorbing all events without before or after

Evidence

While sasa is in itself a near future, a dynamic present and an experienced past, conceived as micro-time, zamani instead is neither limited to the past nor to the present nor to the future, but is fulfilled on a wider scale and is conceived as macro-time. … Zamani overlaps with sasa, and the two are not separable. In fact, sasa flows and disappears into zamani. Zamani becomes the period beyond which nothing could proceed. It is the graveyard of time. In zamani everything is absorbed in one unique reality in which there is no before or after. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 267
