428 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 25
Those conditioned souls, who are full of material desires, achieve
various situations in different planetary systems, and in this way
they live within this material creation.
PURPORT
In this regard, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura sings,
anadi karama-phale,
padi’ bhavarnava-jale, taribare na dekhi updya
“My Lord, I do not know when I commenced my material life, but I can
certainly experience that I have fallen in the deep ocean of nescience.
Now I can also see that there is no other way to get out of it than to take
shelter of Your lotus feet.” Similarly, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu offers
the following prayer:
ayi nanda-tanuja kinkaram
patitarh mam visame bhavambudhau
krpaya tava pada-pankaja-
sthita-dhili-sadrsam vicintaya
“My dear Lord, son of Nanda Maharaja, | am Your eternal servant.
Somehow or other, I have fallen into this ocean of nescience. Kindly,
therefore, save me from this horrible condition of materialistic life.”
