Hopefully, all of you present here understand that the material world is a place of suffering. If that realization is not there, it is very difficult to take to spiritual life, because as Srila Prabhupada states here in the commentary of the verse today, quoting Bhaktivinoda Thakura, “I do not know when I began my material life, but I can certainly experience that I have fallen into a deep ocean of nescience.”
