äyur harati vai pumsäm
udyann astam ca yann asau
tasyarte yat-ksano nita
uttama-sloka-värtayä


Both by rising and by setting, the sun decreases the duration of life of everyone, except one who utilizes the time by discussing topics of the all-good Personality of Godhead.

Dasanudaso bhavitasmi bhuyah?!

aham hare tava padaika-mula
dasanudaso bhavitasmi bhuyah
manah smaretsu-pater gunams te
grnita vak karma karotu kayah

O my Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, will I again be able to be a servant of Your eternal servants who find shelter only at Your lotus feet? O Lord of my life, may I again become their servant so that my mind may always think of Your transcendental attributes, my words always glorify those attributes, and my body always engage in the loving service of Your Lordship?
