Taking To Krishna Consciousness
There is no question of accepting or not accepting Krishna consciousness. It is not optional; it is compulsory. If we do not take to Krishna consciousness, our life is very risky.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.8.49,
Srila Prabhupada
Beginning of Real Life
First birth is from your parents, but real birth, real life, begins when one accepts a bona fide spiritual master and renders service unto him. Then the path is open for going back to home, back to Godhead, to live eternally in full knowledge and full bliss and in association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, Lord Krishna. – In his letter to Narayani, 11th June, 1972.
Utilizing Time
One cannot calculate the amount of loss there is in wasting valuable time. Either materially or spiritually, one should be very alert in utilizing the time which he has at his disposal.
Srimad Bhagavatam 2.7.15,
Srila Prabhupada
