that he will never again commit sinful activities and have to be put into the
womb for repeated birth and death. In the hellish condition within the
womb the living entity is very much afraid of being born again, but when
he is out of the womb, when he is in full life and good health, he forgets
everything and commits again and again the same sins for which he was put
into that horrible condition of existence.

TRANSLATION
The human soul says: | take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme

Personality of Godhead, who appears in His various eternal forms and
walks on the surface of the world. I take shelter of Him only, because He
can give me relief from all fear and from Him I have received this condition
of life, which is just befitting my impious activities.
