In this regard, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura sings,
anadi karama-phale,
padi' bhavarnava-jale, taribare na dekhi upaya
padi' bhavarnava-jale, taribare na dekhi upaya
"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 kiṅkaram
patitam mam visame bhavambudhau
krpaya tava pada-paṅkaja-
sthita-dhuli-sadrsam vicintaya
patitam mam visame bhavambudhau
krpaya tava pada-paṅkaja-
sthita-dhuli-sadrsam vicintaya
"My dear Lord, son of Nanda Maharaja, 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."
