The most valuable thing we have is every precious moment that God has given us. Time is priceless. If we lose money, or estate, or reputation, then by hard work we can gain it back. But one moment that is wasted, we cannot buy it back for all the wealth in the entire creation.
Time and tide wait for no man. As little kids in the school, it seemed like centuries even when we were just waiting for the weekend. But as we grow old, days pass like minutes. Soon we are at the threshold of departing from this particular body. We look back and think, ‘Where has my life gone? It seems like it has only been a moment!’
Therefore, we must understand the value of every precious moment. How we invest each moment of our life is the most important consideration of our human intelligence. Utilize every moment to the greatest benefit of ourselves as well as of others. The scriptures explain that with every rising and every setting of the sun we were one day closer to death. But for those who utilize their precious time to understand the true purpose of life and to hear and chant the glories of the supreme Lord, with every rising and setting of the sun they are one day closer to eternal life.
