PUPORTMaharaja Pariksit’s expression of anxiety is explained in this verse.

He says, “Let whatever is destined to happen take place.

It doesn’t matter.

Just let me see that not a moment of my time is wasted without a relationship with Krsna.” One has to tolerate all obstacles on the path of Krsna consciousness, and one has to see that not a moment of his life is wasted outside of Krsna’s service.
