ayusah ksana eko 'pi

na labhyah svarna-kotibhih

na cen nirarthakam nitih

ka ca hanis tato 'dhika

 

Even a moment of one's lifetime could not be returned in exchange for

millions of dollars. Therefore one should consider how much loss one suffers

if he wastes even a moment of his life for nothing. Living like an animal,

not understanding the goal of life, one foolishly thinks that there is no

eternity and that his life span of fifty, sixty, or, at the most, one

hundred years, is everything. This is the greatest foolishness. Time is

eternal, and in the material world one passes through different phases of

his eternal life. Time is compared herein to a sharp razor. A razor is meant

to shave the hair from one's face, but if not carefully handled, the razor

will cause disaster. One is advised not to create a disaster by misusing his

lifetime. One should be extremely careful to utilize the span of his life

for spiritual realization, or Krsna consciousness.
