14 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 23

TRANSLATION

“‘Not a moment should be lost. Every moment should be utilized for Krsna
or connected with Him.

PURPORT

Mahardja Pariksit’s expression of anxiety is explained in this verse. He says, “Let
whatever is destined to happen take place. It doesn’t matter. Just let me see that
not a moment of my time is wasted without a relationship with Krsna.” One has
to tolerate all obstacles on the path of Krsna consciousness, and one has to see
that not amoment of his life is wasted outside of Krsna’s service.
