Giriraj Swami read and spoke from Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.3.17.
“This verse indirectly confirms the greater importance of utilizing the human form of life to realize our lost relationship with the Supreme Lord by acceleration of devotional service. Time and tide wait for no man. So the time indicated by the sunrise and the sunset will be uselessly wasted if such time is not properly utilized for realizing identification of spiritual values. Even a fraction of the duration of life wasted cannot be compensated by any amount of gold.” (SBÂ 2.3.17 purport)
“This is a fact. Our life is made of time, and when the time of death comes, even if a person is willing to spend any amount of money to purchase even one minute, he cannot do so. That means that every minute, every moment, is of incalculable value, because you can never buy time—you can never buy it back, and you can never buy more than you are allotted. It is very serious. Therefore one of the qualities of an advanced devotee is that he utilizes every moment in Krishna consciousness. He never wastes any time—and it is very easy to waste time.”
