O Lord, the transcendental path of devotional service to Your lotus feet, which is followed by the saintly devotees, is very pure, and free from material distresses and the material mode of passion. Aside from that path, I shall not accept any other. I shall not appeal even for the shining upper planetarysystems, which shall ultimately be cut to pieces by Your wheelof time. I shall not endeavor to commit the fearful and recklesscrime of passing over Your lotus feet to attain an impersonal psuedo-liberation.
