My dear King, as I heard of it from my spiritual master, I have fully described to you the creation of this material world according to the fruitive activities and desires of the conditioned souls. 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.
In this regard, ÅšrÄ«la Bhaktivinoda ṬhÄkura sings,
anÄdi karama-phale, paá¸i’ bhavÄrṇava-jale,
taribÄre nÄ dekhi upÄya
“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, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu offers the following prayer:
ayi nanda-tanuja kiá¹…karaá¹
patitaá¹ mÄá¹ viá¹£ame bhavÄmbudhau
ká¹›payÄ tava pÄda-paá¹…kaja-
sthita-dhūlī-sadṛśaṠvicintaya
“My dear Lord, son of Nanda MahÄrÄja, I 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.â€
