Q81. Can I buy extra Time?

One can buy a billion-dollar home or an Island, but one cannot buy one extra millisecond of time. When our time is depleted, we (the soul) are forced out of this body and immediately transferred to another suitable body exactly according to what we deserve. All the money in the world cannot help us to buy one extra millisecond of life. Those who are intelligent will spend their hard-earned money on their life essentials and spend some in the service of the supreme and helping others to know and advance in the service of the supreme, Lord Krishna. This will enable one to go back to the spiritual manifestation at the end of this short life and take others with them. “Just become My devotee, always think of Me, bow down to Me, and worship Me. Then you will come to Me, without fail. I promise you this, as you are very dear to Me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.65) “If one who is devoted to Me, teaches this supreme secret to other devotees, he shall be performing the highest devotional service unto Me, and he will certainly come back to Me. There is no other servant on Earth, who is more dear to Me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.68-69)

Those who are less intelligent will work hard to accumulate wealth and will not spend some of it in the service of the supreme nor in the service of humanity. At death, they (the soul) are transferred to the womb of mothers in miserable places and suffer from severe poverty and disease.
