Every moment is perfect and sacred, and a divine power has engineered it in some imperceptible way and woven it into our intricate tapestry of life for our spiritual progress.

True! All the incidents,situations, etc in our lives is like a kaliedoscope where each moment is like a jigsaw puzzle fitting into each other to form the entire picture of our lives.
Great quote from Radhanath Swami Maharaj. I heard similar thing in one of the lectures where it was mentioned that whatever situation we are in “moment-to-moment” is just fit for us to make further spiritual progress. This is a very wonderful thought, though a bit difficult to consume. However, Lord has designed our life in such a way that He wants us to get closer to Him every moment.
Amazing wisdom Sumit ji. Thank you very much for sharing.
Wonderful!
as a civil engineer plans brick by brick very perfectly for the construction of a beautiful monument is only the reflection of krishna’s plan in the life of a devotee… every minute & an every decision is perfectly planned by lord krishna to take his devotees from this material world….. as in the life of GREAT BHISHMA….. Thank-you mahraj …..
Such a nice analogy and very hope giving too.
Yes indeed. Radhanath Swami Maharaj’s quotes are always hope giving and very practical.
Very nicely put.
Amazing point! And a pure devotee has complete vision of why Krishna is orchestrating things in his life in the way He does.
This is a very practical wisdom from HH Radhanath Swami. This is kind of a wake up call for us to understand that how every moment is precious and also every situation presented to us by Lord is a perfect tailor made situation for our own spiritual progress. This wisdom also advises us to face every situation with positive mindset understanding it to be Lord’s arrangement.
Thank you for publishing this inspiring wisdom from HH Radhanath Swami.
well summarised Piyush. As Chanakya Pandit says we cannot buy even one moment in the exchange of all the wealth in the world. So its in our interest to use every moment in the Lords service which is the best thing to do. Thank you.
Very true Anand. Thank you for sharing this awakening truth from Chanakya Pandit. Srila Prabhupada and HH Radhanath Swami also quote this many a time.
Yes true! There is famous story which Srila Prabhupad (a great spiritual teacher of Bhakti school) used to narrate. Story is about a multi-millionaire in Kalcutta who was about to die and he requested doctors to extend his life by few more years, however doctors said that they cannot extend it even by a moment.
Great thoughts Piyushji! Human life is very rare and if one gets inclination toward performing devotional service, then it’s rarest of the rarest opportunity.
The importance and value of time is strongly voiced in this quote by Radhanath Swami. Reminds me of Khatvanga Maharaj who perfected his life in one moment. Also Parikshit Maharaj is another example. Every minute is powerful if we can utilise it for spiritual practices.
Thank you Y Raja Shekhar for bringing out the examples. Can you please also give brief about them and how did they valued the time ?
Actually, I also would like to know more about this incident of Khatvanga Maharaj.
Great points! And that is the reason why we say that “Krishna Consciousness is moment to moment thing, where we can decide what we are going to do in that particular situation”.
