The value of life is not in its duration, but in the quality of one’s service to Krishna. You are not important because of how many years you live, but because of how devotedly and effectively you serve the Supreme Lord, Krishna, with love and sincerity. True fulfillment comes not from the length of your existence, but from the depth of your devotion and the impact of your actions in His service.
