I passed my life only in sins. Now, let me bring back my
gone time and use in fruitfully it doing religious and noble
activities.” Even at the cost of his entire kingdom and all his
wealth and position, would he be able to get back the gone
time ? Not at all. He is not capable to get back even a single
second that has passed. Hence utilize time efficiently before
it passes away. If it passes away, it is definitely not going to
come back.

Every second that comes along says “Use me. Utilize me.
Or else I am going. Do not stay under the impression that I
will come back.”

(2) Body is weak. How ?

This body is weak. If you trust its strength and think that
“Let’s see. We will do this afterwards.”, then you need to
understand that this body is completely unreliable. Amidst
all the weird happenings, it is possible that suddenly one day
this healthy body is afflicted by paralysis, cancer, etc. and
its becomes totally unfit for religious activities and penance.

Hence, the current situation is like this,

“The time which has passed does not return and this weak
body is completely unreliable.” Under such a situation it is
wise to utilize the body’s strength in the present time.
Hence whatever strength we have at present :

(1) Body’s strength to do penance.

(2) Mind’s strength to think positive, noble thoughts.
(3) Soul’s strength to follow different oaths and pledges.
(4) Tongue’s strength to sing Lord’s hyms and devotional
songs; give religious sermons and advice, recite and learn
sootras.
(5) Wealth’s strength to give donations.
