Every moment should be utilized to understand your position. Your position means to understand you are eternal servant of God, and your duty, to carry out the orders of God. If you understand simply these two things: that you are eternal servant of God and you have to carry out the orders of God . . . He is the supreme proprietor. He is the supreme friend.

Your any portion of your life . . . just like today, 10th May, now six o’clock morning, 10th May, it is gone; it will never come back. So if that six o’clock morning of 10th May you have spoiled for some . . . for nothing, then how much you have lost? Because that will never come. If you pay millions of dollars, "Please bring me back that six o’clock, 10th May, 1972, again," no. It will never come. So if you spoil time, so valuable, that valuable consideration that you cannot get it back in exchange of money . . . therefore it is valuable.

So every moment should be utilized to understand your position. Your position means to understand you are eternal servant of God, and your duty, to carry out the orders of God. If you understand simply these two things: that you are eternal servant of God and you have to carry out the orders of God . . . He is the supreme proprietor. He is the supreme friend. Not only proprietor . . . just like a father, he is the proprietor of your house, of your home, but he is your best friend at the same time. Nobody can be best friend than your father. Similarly these three things, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ
:sarva-loka-maheśvaram
:suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
:jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati 
:([[Vanisource:BG 5.29 (1972)|BG 5.29]])
</div>

Śāntim, peace. If you want peace, if you don’t want to be confused and frustrated, then try to understand these three things. What is that? God is the supreme enjoyer, God is my supreme friend, and He is the supreme proprietor of everything. These three things. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So if you try to understand our philosophy . . . we have got volumes of books. Or you simply chant this mantra: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. There is no charges. There is no loss on your part. But if you kindly chant, you'll understand everything, because your heart will be cleansed.
