Time Standing Still

From the Wikipedia page on Siddhartha Gautama:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha

“Then he remembered a moment in childhood in which he had been watching his father start the season’s plowing, and he had fallen into a naturally concentrated and focused state in which time seemed to stand still, and which was blissful and refreshing.”

Why are moments of revelation often described as “time standing still”?

If time were to actually stand still for everyone, would we experience constant revelation?
