Devotional service is not waste of time!

One person asked me, "why you people get up early and do prayers for so long time and chant your rounds, it is not so much time consuming process, instead why not you people do some productive work?"

These type of thought process may come to anyone who think, doing spiritual work is just a waste of time nothing else.

But in Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna has already declared about, if someone does little of devotions towards Krishna it can protect us from biggest danger;

नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते ।

स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात् ॥ 2.40 ॥

In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.

Many people goes to watch movies, shopping, picnics and waste so much time for doing nothing. But they don't give excuses for that task why they waste their time as, if simply we calculate a normal human being waste his more than 50 percent of time in doing nothing.

But devotional service is not waste of time rather than it gives us strength, peace and motivation towards right direction.

Most of the people are all time frustrate and seems in very much tension is just because of they don't have devotion in their life.

Srila Prabhupada used to say, if a person become Krishna Conscious then all other qualities automatically developed.

The process of devotional service is very scientific;

Waking up early (develop a good habit)

Doing chanting (meditation and mind control)

Eating prasadam (Satvik food) 

Association of devotees (good association)

Reading scriptures (makes intelligence strong) and many more benefits.

So, if you become a devotee means you don't have to do anything extra.
