Hello Nishchal,
Though the concept of the article you posted is pretty old, the way in which you put it is quite interesting.
The example reg spending time with a girl & sitting on a stove is actually Einstein's quote when someone asked him to explain his Theory of Relativity when he had just expounded it. He said: "When you sit with your girl-friend for 1 hour, you feel it's only a minute. When you sit for 1 minute on a hot stove, you feel it's an hour. That's Relativity."
Until he brought in the Theory of Relativity, Time, as we know it, was thought to be Absolute. But he proved that Time also is relative.
The sense of time we know of on this planet Earth is very different from what it's on any other planet--known or unknown.
You mentioned the example of a mosquito vis-a-vis human vis-a-vis God. But there are many animals itself on Earth that live more than humans--elephant being a well-known example. And what about trees? There are many trees in the Amazon forest that are almost 200-300 feet tall & are aged nearly 1000 yrs [pl see the website of National Geographic to get more details on this].
Human nature being what it is, we tend to hero-worship whatever/whichever/whoever 'SEEMS' to be having the attributes that WE don't have. A case in point is our craze for the film-stars or some politicians--as if they are Demi-Gods [if not altogether Gods], forgetting that they too are human and WILL have some shortcomings.
Not that we are new to this phenomenon. It's been there since man set his foot on this Earth. Otherwise the very Bhagavatgita that you quoted from wouldn't be existing at all.
