Our guru maharaj told us a story about a very wealthy king. He lived just about 70 years ago in India near Rajasthan state. He had fabulous wealth, incredible amounts of power but was very sick. On his death bed, he called his doctor.
“There are so many things that I have left undone,” he said. “I want to finish them before I die. I will give you most of my fortune if you can just grab me one more year to live.”
“I am sorry to say my dear sir,” the doctor replied, “even if you give me all the money in the entire world I cannot give you even one more minute.”
So, time is really the most precious thing we have in our life. The best time to really begin our spiritual life is—now!
Heart touching article by Radhanath swami.

Wonderful story to teach all of us a lesson that even a single minute is so precious in our lives and we must use it for our ultimate benefit, which is to please the Lord. Thank you Radhanath Swami for this story.

What an amazing anecdote. One must realy take spirituality very earnestly and seriously.
Hare Krishna.
What an eye opener.. this story gives us a truth which is true for all in this world.. we really need to start our spiritual life seriously NOW.. thanks.. JAI !!!
Very true. There are people who make the comments that why are you getting engaged in spiritual activities while you are young, rather you can do these when you become old. This sounds very funny and Radhanath Swami has clarified the confusion by saying that time is the most important thing for all of us and we must make the best use of time by performing God centered activities which is pleasing to Him.
time is precious. if we value time then time will value us. Thank you maharaj.
Thanks Swamiji for always reminding us the precious value of time…..but the human tendency is to waste time & later repent for it……but great sould like Radhanath Swami keep reminding us about our mistakes……….thanks
Yes Doctor has made King to undertstand the reality of the world. And has given best advice..
Chanakya Pandit also says the same: with any amount of wealth, we cannot get back one moment of lost time. Radhanath Swami has stressed this so well through this story.
What is valuable and what is not can be learned from saints like Radhanath Swami!

HARI BOL!!!
Lectures by His Holiness Radhanath Swami is a continuous source of inspiration. He mentioned the story about the fish out of water. No matter how much wealth or comforts provided to the fish, it will not be happy unless it is back again in water. Similarly the soul will not be happy unless it reaches to its original state of pure love to Krsna. Jai !!!
