mark Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Haribol, I have read that Srila Prbahupada once wrote an article entitled 'No time, a chronic disease of the modern man' a long time ago, probably in the late 50's, before he had left India. Has anyone a copy of this please, as I would very much like to read it. Its probably even more relevant today than it was then in the 24/7 nightmare we live in. Many thanks Mark.

jagatpurush Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 "NO TIME" by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada When we approach some gentleman and request him to become a reader of "Back to Godhead," sometimes we are replied with the words "NO TIME." They say that they are too busy in earning money for maintaining the body and soul together. But when we ask them what do they mean by the 'Soul,' they have nothing to reply. Dr. Meghnath Saga, a great scientist, was busily going to a meeting of planning Commission. Unfortunately while going in his car on the road he died and could not ask Death to wait because he had no time at that moment. Dr. Ansari, the great Congress leader, while dying in a moving train, on his way to home, said that he was himself a medical man and almost all his family men were so, but Death is so cruel that he was dying without any medical treatment. Therefore, Death has been described in the Bhagwat as the indefatigable. Death is awaiting everyone although everybody thinks that he may not die. There is life after death. The busy man should try to know this also as to whither he is going. This life is but a spot in his longest sojourn and a sane person should not be busy with a spot only. Nobody says that the body should not be maintained—but everybody should know from "Bhagwat Geeta," that the body is the outward dress and the 'Soul' is the real person who puts on the dress. So if the dress is taken care of only, without any care of the real person—it is sheer foolishness and waste of time. Source: March 1956 issue of Back to Godhead I thought it was longer but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hare Krishna! Many thanks for finding this article Its short but to the point. Life is but a brief lesson and death is the exam, so we should start studying hard if we have not already, as we don't know when we will face the test. Humble obeisances Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 HareKrishna! Thanks very much JagatPurush for posting the article. Was actually expecting a very very long article as Srila Prabhupada's already are. Must admit truthfully - was a lil bit disappointed to find a short one.
