Devotee Association Helps Us Reach the Shore
“The conditioned souls are wandering throughout the different planets of the universe, entering various species of life. By good fortune one of these souls may somehow or other be delivered from the ocean of nescience, just as one of the many big logs in a flowing river may by chance reach the bank.
What the purport teaches
- Unlimited conditioned souls are bereft of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s service and wander through different planets and species of life.
- Not knowing how to cross the ocean of nescience, they are scattered by the waves of time and tide.
- Some are fortunate to contact devotees and are delivered through that contact, like a floating log that reaches the riverbank.
