…as Clouds are Carried By the Wind.
The Personality of Godhead said: As a mass of clouds does not know the powerful influence of the wind, a person engaged in material consciousness does not know the powerful strength of the time factor, by which he is being carried.
The great politician-paṇḍita named Cāṇakya said that even one moment of time cannot be returned even if one is prepared to pay millions of dollars. 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.
A conditioned soul lives in a particular body for a fixed measurement of time, and it is recommended in the scriptures that within that small measurement of time one has to finish Kṛṣṇa consciousness and thus gain release from the influence of the time factor.
But, unfortunately, those who are not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness are carried away by the strong power of time without their knowledge, as clouds are carried by the wind.

Pamho agtacbsp, that is very true , people say I do this to kill the time but it’s the factor time that kill all and everything this is the material world under the strict law of the factor time and the three gunas are working through the factor time therefore when we conquer the factor time we conquer the three gunas also BRAHMA BUYAYA KALPATE by constantly practice KRSNA SMARANA, father, grandfather son sister etc…it’s all fake relationship pass through the factor time and we avoid to do the same mistake by serving SSGG SINCERELY we can go beyond the factor time because everything is real beyond the factor time including the beauty knowledge etc…so we must trying to overcome the factor time we got the proper way to conquer it in ahituki apratihata by the mercy of SSGG ,agtacbsp ys haribol
Pamho agtacbsp, the atomic minuscule soul can go back home only when is situated beyond the factor time through constant services to SSGG and not otherwise like in f-iskcon I mean to go back to the original svarupa MURTI one must be real with real people and real prasadam because to use the factor time to get more trapped instead of free is for foolish donkey while a real devotee mind is real business to overcome the factor time and become free GOVINDAM GOPIKA PRIYA we know is not easy at all to become perfect and dear to SRI KRSNA in the material world all the prajalpa gramya katha do not help gossip and anarthas is another door to the hell open for all those who are less intelligence and everything is recorded in the not ordinary body of SRI ASAMAURDHVAM SYAMASUNDARAM therefore no one can escape to the supreme justice by SRI KRSNA because almost everyone is driving crazy by the factor time plus the three gunas our only hope is the HOLY NAME and SRILA PRABHUPADA. Agtacbsp ys haribol

Agtacbsp ys haribol
Pamho agtacbsp, there are many stories about KRSNA AND THE FACTOR TIME, for example the story of DHRUVA MAHARAJ that got blessed by SRI KRSNA to never become old and extended his span of life to 40.000 years three times more then demigod her mother also got the same blessing this is the proof that SRI KRSNA IS SRI KALO SMI THE ONLY CONTROLLER OF THE FACTOR TIME AND USE IT AS HE LIKE,then another proof that everything belong to HIM is that DHRUVA MAHARAJ DIDN’T KNOW OUR TO OFFER PRAYERS TO SRI KRSNA WHEN GOT DARSHAN OF VISNU AT DHRUVA TILA IN THE FOREST OF MADHUVAN BUT SRI KRSNA TOUCH IS HEAD WITH HIS SEASHELL AND MAKE DHRUVA MAHARAJ THE BEST UTTAMASLOKA, KRSNA LILA KI JAY AGTACBSP YS HARIBOL
Fourth Canto, Twenty-seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Attack by Caṇḍavega on the City of King Purañjana; the Character of Kālakanyā.” Text 3
*
The great sage Nārada continued:
TRANSLATION
Queen Purañjanī embraced the King, and the King also responded by embracing her shoulders. In this way, in a solitary place, they enjoyed joking words. Thus King Purañjana became very much captivated by his beautiful wife and deviated from his good sense. He forgot that the passing of days and nights meant that his span of life was being reduced without profit.
PURPORT
The word pramadā in this verse is very significant. A beautiful wife is certainly enlivening to her husband, but at the same time is the cause of degradation. The word pramadā means “enlivening” as well as “maddening.” Generally a householder does not take the passing of days and nights very seriously. A person in ignorance takes it as the usual course that days come, and after the days, the nights come. This is the law of material nature.
But a man in ignorance does not know that when the sun rises early in the morning it begins to take away the balance of his life. Thus day after day the span of one’s life is reduced, and forgetting the duty of human life, the foolish man simply remains in the company of his wife and enjoys her in a secluded place. Such a condition is called apakṛṣṭa-cetana, or degraded consciousness. Human consciousness should be used for elevation to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But when a person is too much attracted to his wife and family affairs, he does not take Kṛṣṇa consciousness very seriously. He thus becomes degraded, not knowing that he cannot buy back even a second of his life in return for millions of dollars.
The greatest loss in life is passing time without understanding Kṛṣṇa. Every moment of our lives should be utilized properly, and the proper use of life is to increase devotional service to the Lord. Without devotional service to the Lord, the activities of life become simply a waste of time. Śrama eva hi kevalam. Simply by becoming “dutiful” we do not make any profit in life. As confirmed in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.2.8):
dharmaḥ svanuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ
viṣvaksena-kathāsu yaḥ
notpādayed yadi ratiṁ
śrama eva hi kevalam
If, after performing one’s occupational duty very perfectly, one does not make progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it should be understood that he has simply wasted his time in valueless labor.
