Now, this material world is compared with a great ocean, and actually it is. Those who have traveled on the sea, now they have seen Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean. This is only a spot. This earth is only a spot in this material universe. So we have got these two big oceans, Atlantic and Pacific ocean. Just imagine that within this universe, millions and millions of planets are floating. How many Atlantic and Pacific oceans are there you can just imagine.

The more we advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we become free from this material entanglement. There is a very nice verse in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam:

<div class="quote_verse">
:samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavaṁ
:mahat-padaṁ puṇya-yaśo murāreḥ
:bhavāmbudhir vatsa-padaṁ paraṁ padaṁ
:padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām 
:([[Vanisource:SB 10.14.58|SB 10.14.58]])
</div>

Samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavam. Now, this material world is compared with a great ocean, and actually it is. Those who have traveled on the sea, now they have seen Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean. This is only a spot. This earth is only a spot in this material universe. So we have got these two big oceans, Atlantic and Pacific ocean. Just imagine that within this universe, millions and millions of planets are floating. How many Atlantic and Pacific oceans are there you can just imagine.

So this is actually a great ocean of misery, bhavāmbudhiḥ. The śāstra says it is a great ocean of birth and death. So bhavāmbudhiḥ. Samāśritā ye pada . . . now in order to cross the ocean, you require a very nice boat, strong boat. Then you can cross over. So we have to cross over this ocean of nescience, material. And what is that boat? That is lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. You take shelter of the boat which is Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet. Samāśritā.

Take with great faith, that "I am now accepting this boat as my life, lifeboat." Then what is the result? Now, mahat-padam. Mahat-padam. Don't think that "Oh, Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa's boat, or feet, is so small." No. It is mahat-padam. Mahat-padam means the whole material creation is resting on His leg. Mahat-padaṁ puṇya-yaśo murāreḥ.
