confirmed in  Bhagavad-gītā .  Mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etām taranti te  (Bg. 7.14) : whoever surrenders unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa can get out of this false conception of life. By the influence of  māyā  only, one forgets his eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa and identifies himself with his body and the by-products of the body—namely wife, children, society, friendship and love. Thus he becomes a victim of the influence of  māyā , and his materialistic life of continued birth and death becomes still more stringent.
TEXT 21
तस्मादहं विगतविक्रुव उद्धरिष्य 
    आत्मानमाशु तमसः सुहृदाऽऽत्मनैव । 
    भूयो यथा व्यसनमेतदनेकरन्ध्रं 
    मा मे यविष्यदुपसादितविष्णुपादः ॥२१॥
tasmād aham vigata-viklava uddhariṣya 
    ātmānam āśu tamasah suhṛdātmanaiva 
    bhūyo yathā vyasanam etad aneka-randhram 
    mā me bhaviṣyad upasādita-viṣṇu-pādah
tasmāt—therefore; aham—I; vigata—ceased; viklavah—agitation; uddhariṣye—shall deliver; ātmānam—myself; āśu—quickly; tamasah—from the darkness; suhṛdā ātmanā—with friendly intelligence; eva—indeed; bhūyah—again; yathā—so that; vyasanam—plight; etat—this; aneka-randhram—entering many wombs; mā—not; me—my; bhaviṣyat—may occur; upasādita—placed (in my mind); viṣṇu-pādah—the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu.
TRANSLATION
Therefore, without being agitated any more, I shall deliver myself from the darkness of nescience with the help of my friend, clear consciousness. Simply by keeping the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu in my mind, I shall be saved from entering into the wombs of many mothers for repeated birth and death.
PURPORT
The miseries of material existence begin from the very day when the spirit soul takes shelter in the ovum and sperm of the mother and father,
