  2. Many a times we tend to waste the precious time in the irrational and gibberish activities which are not essential at all ! And then we repent for that precious time wasted ! This Grave Quote by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj indicates the same ! Every Moment of our life is precious provided we utilize it properly and do something Substantial ! Thats why its very essential for us to make Choices and make Best use of time ! Thank You Very much Maharaj

  3. We can see this practically in the lives of people who are addicted to sinful activities.! Somehow or the other sinful people make time to gamble, to take intoxicants etc……!
    But some people become workoholics by engaging their free time in pious but material pursuits.
    But if we simply use free time to engage in devotional service somehow or the other, we achieve perfection quickly. We see this in lives of devotees. Devotees have as much free time as a materialist has. The difference comes in the choices we make……… to engage in that time. This needs a bit of guidance and expertise; and that can come by associating with devotees.
    His Holiness has given a very appropriate quote.

  4. So much time has gone by.
    Wish I had come across this wonderful quote earlier.
    Thank you Swamiji

  5. All gloriessssssssssssssssss to Radhanath Swami Maharaj………………….

  6. similar to this, there is one proverb also,’ Empty mind is devil’s house.’ ….really each moment of our life is very precious. it is always good, when we engage ourselves in useful activity in our free time

    1. Nice point! Bhagavad Gita also says that unless one has got higher taste of devotional service, one cannot lose the taste for material things.

  7. Time doesn’t wait for anyone. So we have to utilize every moment meaningfully which can benefit to ourselves and also people around us.

    1. Well said Mr. Ankush…Time is precious.I understood that when we have free time we indulge into all nonsense activities.Therefore we should always keep ourselves busy.

    2. Yes and human life is the rarest of rare things which should not be wasted for material pursuits.

  11. Very true. We should keep ourselves busy in devotional activities. If we are not serving the Lord, then we are serving maya.

    1. Radhanath Swami practices what he preaches. That is why his instructions are so inspiring.

  13. So true.. as they say empty mind is devil’s workshop. We should always try to keep busy with some meaningful devotional activities. Many thanks to HH Radhanath Swami for this wisdom.

  14. Indeed Greatest of dangers empty mind can cause. Yes Radhanath Swami insists that you keep your self engaged in service or sadhana.

    1. If we fill our mind with positive thoughts of devotional service, we can always remain peaceful and happy.

  16. To get a service opportunity is the greatest fortune. So we should utilize our time carefully in the service of the Lord and His pure devotees.

  17. Time is more precious than money in the current age & hence should be utilized wisely for the benefit of ourselves & everyone around us.

  18. We only feel we need free time till we get it. When we really have it, it is quite boring !

  19. As Radhanath Swami rightly sends warning signals, the mind can not be idle as it can be either occupied with Krishna or with Maya. In other words, if we are having free time then we will be attracted and attacked by maya.

  21. Very true. we must keep ourselves busy by engaging in devotional service else maya is ever ready to attack us the moment we are free.

  23. Its a huge warning from Radhanath Swami. Chanakya pandit says one can not buy a moment lost even by paying thousands of gold coins. Each moment we should utilise in the service of Krishna and His devotees and that alone brings in perfection to our lives.

    2. Very True…..We can’t get moment again which is passed away. Lord Krishna says in Bhagvad Gita that ‘ I am Time’ …so we have to be very careful about each moment which is nothing but blessings given by Lord and it should be utilized in Lord Krishna’s service.

    1. Having free time is dangerous Unless we utilize the time in prescribed activities. I experience it many times. It is very true.
