There is Nothing More Valuable than Time
Time is so valuable that even one second of wasted time cannot be bought back with millions and billions of dollars. In this connection Srila Prabhupada has written in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Third Canto, Chapter 3, Text 1 as follows:
"The great politician-paṇḍita named Cāṇakya said that even one moment of time cannot be returned even if one is prepared to pay millions of dollars. One cannot calculate the amount of loss there is in wasting valuable time. Either materially or spiritually, one should be very alert in utilizing the time which he has at his disposal. A conditioned soul lives in a particular body for a fixed measurement of time, and it is recommended in the scriptures that within that small measurement of time one has to finish Kṛṣṇa consciousness and thus gain release from the influence of the time factor. But, unfortunately, those who are not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness are carried away by the strong power of time without their knowledge, as clouds are carried by the wind."
So we must make sure that we are using every minute of our 24 hours every day to serve Lord Krishna. This will be the perfection of our existence and will have an uplifting transformational impact on the entire global atmosphere.

Answer: Foolish Selfishness
My Dear T. Anil,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Yes, everyone should be attracted to Krishna consciousness because it is the only true happiness. Unfortunately most of the people in this material
due to foolish selfishness are more attracted to lust, anger, and greed than they are to loving Krishna.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom
Question: Why Everyone is Not Krishna Conscious?
If the Krishna consciousness path is so divine why doesn't everyone follow this path? Shouldn't they automatically be attracted to it?With respect,
