Friends,

I cannot devise any difference between these two epithets for the
Dhamma: sanditthiko and akaliko. As in PED:

Sanditthika (p. 677) [cp. BSk. sandrstika Divy 426] visible; belonging to,
of advantage to, this life, actual

Akalika 1. not delayed, immediate, in this world, comb. with sanditthika S
II.58; S I.117= IV.41=339=V.343;

Except for the idea that akaliko could mean "not subject to time",
should these two terms be explained as if they mean the same thing or can we
draw some significative distinction between them?
