Not wasting a moment...

Verse 1.16.6 (Krishna Patro Prji):

* This is the continuation of Saunaka Rishi's inquiry to Suta Goswami. He is giving the reason for the previous statement of his.
* What is the use of topics which simply waster one's valuable life?
* The pure devotees have great interest in hearing about the Supreme Lord.
* Every living entity is looking for pleasure according to its own understanding. But pure devotees don't look for pleasure in garbage.
* Every material literature is full of garbage. It is not at all connected to Krishna. So without controlling our tongue, we become its victim, causing to go more and more into material bondage.
* In the age of Kali, in this material world, all inquiries are mundane. But we are fortunate cause by the mercy of SP, we get to speak about this transcendental subject matter, thus helping us to get away from the cycle of birth and death.
* Reality: About life, our duration of life is not very long and we don't know when we will be ordered to leave to the next stage.
* We should see that not a moment should be wasted, and every moment is used for listening about the Supreme Personality of Godhead.


Verse 1.16.4 (Ramana Prji):

* First pt: humility of an emperor
* Second pt: Kali yuga and its bad effects.
- Science says animals like cows have intelligence of a 3 year old. They are very mercilessly killed in animal slaughters.
- SP to scientists: Can you make a machine that takes grass and gives out milk.
- Kali is not just outside, it is within us too
* Real intelligence is not in manipulating material energy, it is about spiritual quests.
* As kali progresses, people fail to make a difference between religion and real.
* "Love makes the world go round", but this love is just lust only.
* Another pt: Brahman is there, without qualification.
* Solution available to us: Nama sankirtanam. With determination and dedication, not on our strength, but as a humble servant.
* Without intelligence (head), there is no meaning for the body. So there is a need for a proper King, like Maharaj Parikshit, who could properly rule the world, this body.
