Text 39] Entanglement in Fruitive Activities 1409

TRANSLATION

There are varieties of material existence for the living entity according to
the work he performs in ignorance or forgetfulness of his real identity. My
dear mother, if anyone enters into that forgetfulness, he is unable to
understand where his movements will end.

PURPORT

Once one enters into the continuation of material existence, it is very
difficult to get out. Therefore the Supreme Personality of Godhead comes
Himself or sends His bona fide representative, and He leaves behind scrip-
tures like Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam, so that the living entities
hovering in the darkness of nescience may take advantage of the instruc-
tions, the saintly persons and the spiritual masters and thus be freed. Unless
the living entity receives the mercy of the saintly persons, the spiritual
master or Krsna, it is not possible for him to get out of the darkness of
material existence; by his own endeavor it is not possible.
