|
Imported quote 14856 Material affairs have herein been compared to an ocean of poison. They have been described in a similar way by Srila Narottama dasa Thakura in one of his songs:
(More...) "My heart is always burning in the fire of material existence, and I have made no provisions for getting out of it."
(More...) "The only remedy is hari-nama-sahkirtana, the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, which is imported from the spiritual world, Goloka Vrndavana. How unfortunate I am that I have no attraction for this." Manu wanted to seek shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord, and therefore when his son Priyavrata took charge of his worldly affairs, Manu was very relieved. That is the system of Vedic civilization. At the end of life, one must free himself from worldly affairs and completely engage in the service of the Lord.
