The Perfection of Time Management

Don't waste a single moment. Even one moment of time taste cannot be gotten back even by spending millions and billions of dollars. Time management is nowadays very popular with materialists. There are so many time management seminars and books in the market place. But because they teach only how to utilize your time more efficiently for sense gratification all they are really doing is teaching how to become expert at wasting your time.

On the other hand, devotees of Krishna are the real expert time managers because they know that every moment of time belongs to Krishna and thus must be utilized in Krishna's service. Any moment of time that is not full engaged in Krishna's service is a permanent loss because once that moment is gone it is finished forever and can never be gotten back. Because the devotees of the Lord expertly engage their every moment in Krishna consciousness their going back to home, back to Godhead at the time is guaranteed. Let us all now become like that, fully dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow.

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image

I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But ...
