It's sounds so interesting to me when I ask my friends, "what are you doing" and they respond by saying, "nothing just doing T.P." means timepass, interesting about this is that even though you don't engage in timepass time is going to pass anyhow. Timepass way of passing a time in aimless or unproductive way and practically everyone does that. If you observe while travelling in a bus, in train, during breaks in workplace, in schools and colleges people are killing their time in various ways as if they have abundant time.
Once there was a highly elevated sage named 'Lomasha' who had been blessed by the Brahma to have long life. The boon was after every hundred years his one hair will fall off and in this way when all hairs fall off from his body he will die, means such a huge life. He was very austere, he would perform his sadhana under hot blazing sun, his one of disciple thought let me built a small hut for my guru he will be pleased. So he asked Lomasha, can I built hut for you so that you can perform sadhana peacefully, Rishi replied, don't waste time in building hut, life is so short, perform devotional service and go back to godhead.
We have to understand that we have less time to achieve perfection of human form of life, if we just utilise our time for eating, sleeping, mating and defending then hardly there are any chances of achieving goals. Watching the watch means becoming conscious of time, When one becomes conscious of running time then he can think of utilising time. Time passes so subtly and suddenly that we don't realise it has gone. You observe you life, it has passed just like a lightening, came and gone. Time is really very powerful, a filthy rich can become beggar overnight, a healthy can be diseased and powerful can become powerless within no time.
What is perfect utilisation of time? Using time in the service of personification of time that is God. When one engages in hearing and chanting of God's name regularly he becomes eligible to enter in the world where time is conspicuous by its presence. King Khatvanga realised that he was left with very short time he immediately freed himself from all responsibilities and engaged himself in the process of devotional service thus got elevated to planet of eternity and bliss, similarly king Pariksit was cursed to die within 7 days, he surrendered himself at the feet of Sukdev Goswami and engaged in hearing the glories of God. In conclusion remain always conscious of our watch(time) which is always running and rather than wasting it use our some time daily in loving service of God and His devotees so that we will be eligible to enter into His planet of eternity(Vaikunth).
