Sringeri Jagadguru on The Usefulness of Spending Our Precious Time in Bhagavan Naama Japam (Tamil):

People ask what is the easy way to reach God? Not all can perform Yagas. The solution is to engage in chanting the Names of God. Even if one is dumb, one can chant the Name mentally. However even though the chanting of God’s Names is easy, most people only engage in useless talk. Such is the power of delusion:

नमः शिवाय मन्त्रोऽयं वागेषा वशवर्तिनी ।
अहो मोहस्य माहात्म्यं नरकं येन पश्यति ॥

namaḥ śivāya mantrō'yaṁ vāgēṣā vaśavartinī ।
ahō mōhasya māhātmyaṁ narakaṁ yēna paśyati ॥

People only waste time – an entity that is most precious and cannot be earned again. Once a day goes by in your life, it is impossible to get that day back. Hence people must realize it is foolish to spend time in useless pursuits. Do not fail to realize this and keep trying to set the world right. As it would be worthless to swim upstream in a river, one must not let the mind to wander towards issues that are beyond one’s control. One must analyse and understand the futility of indulging unnecessarily in another’s affairs. Instead one must focus on chanting the Divine Names and meditate on Ishwara thus making efforts to acquiring the Grace of Ishwara.

The Jagadguru emphasized that He was giving this simple message as a number of villagers had come to have His Darshan and listen to His Anugraha Bhashanam.
