MOST OF US HERE HAVE MORE TIME THAN WE THINK WE HAVE, IF WE REALLY WANT TO USE IT FOR GOOD



My wants are as nothing compared with the demands of Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, commanding a huge army; and yet he could find time in the midst of the din and turmoil of battle to talk the highest philosophy and to carry it into his life also. Surely we ought to be able to do as much in this ...life of ours — comparatively free, easy, and comfortable. Most of us here have more time than we think we have, if we really want to use it for good.
