All of you are wasting time. Time is God. God is described as, Kala kalaya namah - He is the Master of Time. Therefore you should not waste time on unnecessary activities. For example, excessive talk is a waste of time. When you switch on the radio and listen to all unnecessary programmes, electricity is wasted. The body is like a radio receiver. Chanting the Lord’s name and singing the glory of God will capture signals of grace. But when you indulge in unnecessary gossip, you waste precious time and energy. When you do wicked or inappropriate deeds, again you waste energy and incur dangerous consequences too. Sanctify your life by adhering to the twin ideals of Truth and Righteousness (Sathya and Dharma). Instead of preaching them, put them into practice. Propagation is 'quantity' while practicing is 'quality'. Quality is always very important. A spoon of cow's milk is much better than a barrel of donkey's milk.
