Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 23.22

Use Every Moment for Kṛṣṇa

“Not a moment should be lost. Every moment should be utilized for Kṛṣṇa or connected with Him.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 23.22, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Every moment should be utilized for Kṛṣṇa or connected with Him.
  • Mahārāja Parīkṣit was willing to let whatever was destined happen. His concern was that none of his time be wasted without a relationship with Kṛṣṇa.
  • One has to tolerate obstacles on the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Not a moment of life should be wasted outside Kṛṣṇa’s service.
