Wake Up

Life’s fast for everybody. At the same time, it’s hard too. What we people do is, we conveniently excuse ourselves from our spiritual life by saying that our lives are fast and that we cannot remove any time for our spiritual pursuits. Here’s the problem. We do not understand how serious it is that we are ignoring our spiritual life. I recently read in an article that serious spiritualists remove time for their spiritual life no matter what. They are super busy yet they manage to remove some time to conduct their spiritual affairs.

We have to make ourselves realize that time is limited. We have this wrong notion in our minds that we have ample of time. We tend to procrastinate. We postpone the things in our life by convincing ourselves that we will do them later. I agree, life’s fast. There are so many things lined up to be done. But then, when will we remove time for the most important thing in our lives? When will we do the things that are required to be done? We do not understand the gravity of the situation. How hard it is to remove a few hours to read the holy books? To chant the holy name? How hard it is to offer food to the Lord before consuming it ourselves? God has Himself simplified the tasks that we ought to do and yet we don’t do them.
We are sleeping souls. We need to be awakened. We should understand that by doing these little things, we will please the Lord and in consequence the Lord will help us. Lord will wash away our sins and make us eligible to enter his abode.

So the conclusion is, whatever our situation is, we should not give an excuse of shortage of time. We have to remove time for our spiritual life. We have to put this in the topmost priority list. If not now then, it will be never. So wake up before its too late.
