Those who are mad after money while away their precious life-time in vail pursuits. They find no time to engage in chanting the Divine Name of Shri Krishna.

तस्मात् संपादयन्नित्यं वित्तं यावत्प्रयोजनम्

श्रीनिवासे जगन्नाथे भक्तिं कुर्यादहर्निशम्

 

अर्थलोभेन लोकेस्मिन् व्यर्थं कुर्वन्ति जीवितम्

मरणं न हि जानन्ति पश्चादेव स्थितं नराः

 

अटतामर्थलोभेन कालक्षेपो वृथा गतः

तेषां न विद्यते कालः स्मरणाय जगत्पतेः

 

One should earn that much money necessary for his maintenance alone and concentrate his mind on Shri Jagannatha for cultivating devotion. People squander their lives due to their craving for money. They are not conscious of inevitable death that awaits them.

 

Those who are mad after money while away their precious life-time in vail pursuits. They find no time to engage in chanting the Divine Name of Shri Krishna.

 

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Only one who has spent this human life by Chanting the Name of the Lord can remain fearless of death; all the others will fear facing death!

 

Nothing we earn today would come with us to the final destination but only the Divine Name WILL

 

Lord Rama says, "Any accumulated wealth will dissolve in due time. Any position of power attained will come to an end. All the relations (children, wife) come to an end in death. There is nothing in this world that is permanent."

 

What is the use of tying a golden turban to a corpse (dead body) and decorating it on the chest with exquisite diamond ornaments?

 

If there is no life after physical death, we can lead a wanton life. But there is life after death, and unless…….

 

As long as you search for peace outside yourself, you will not attain it. To find the peace within you, please chant the Mahamantra always, thinking of Lord Krishna and surrendering to Him.

 

People perform actions for the sake of happiness; but they neither attain happiness nor succeed in ending their sorrow thereby

 

Just as wealth accrued by a man is useful to the world and for future generations, a man's bhakti and the power of Nama gives strength to innumerable people

 

Divine Name Rama is the real wealth in this world for all because it is the treasure which will not be reduced by spending and which no one can loot.

 

The Name of the Lord - this alone is my wealth. I do not tie it up to hide it, nor do I sell it to make my living.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
