TRANSLATION

““¢ “Because | am so fallen, | shall never get a chance to see the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.” This was my false apprehension. Rather, by chance
a person as fallen as | am may get to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Although one is being carried away by the waves of the river of time, one may
eventually reach the shore.’

This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.38.5).
