You spend a lot of time on useless, momentary, temporary and worldly activities. Are you spending even a second of it for God? It is sufficient even if you concentrate for one second truly on the Lotus feet of Lord Krishna. If someone is given a Shiva Lingam, they have difficulty in worshipping it with Abhishekam (holy prayerful bath). But they have time to clean their shoes or other objects with utmost care and interest. They struggle to find time to perform Abhishekam with a spoon of water. It is not that they don’t have time and the process is tedious. They lack interest. People are more interested in worldly activities. You lack interest in something that is pure. Only because of lack of purity, you are losing the power of discrimination. ‘Shraddhavan Labhate Jnanam’ – only out of deep interest can one acquire wisdom. Hence we must develop interest in spiritual subjects.
