There is great suffering for people lacking a boat to cross the ocean of saṁsāra filled with the crocodiles of the six senses, since they desire to cross but cannot, using a difficult process. Therefore, cross the ocean of saṁsāra, difficult to cross, by making a boat out of the lotus feet of the Lord, worthy of worship.
Crossing saṁsāra is difficult for the sannyāsīs and yogīs. Aplaveśām means “those not having ability or means to cross.” The root īṭ means “to be able to.” Or the word can mean “with the Lord, who enables one to cross.” There is great suffering (kṛcchraḥ) for those who do not have the means of crossing, because they desire to cross, but cannot cross, the ocean of saṁsāra filled with the crocodiles of the six senses. If they are not killed by the waves of lust, or devoured by the crocodiles of the six senses, and if they are strong, though tired, and do not give up, after a long time, somehow or other, by using the arms of jñāna and vairāgya, among them, one may with difficulty cross the ocean. Therefore, you should cross the ocean of saṁsāra, difficult to cross (vyasanam), by making a boat out of the Lord’s lotus feet. Taking shelter of the boat of the Lord’s feet to cross saṁsāra easily, which becomes the size of calf’s hoof print, is expressed in the following verses:
samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavaṁ
mahat-padaṁ puṇya-yaśo murāreḥ
bhavāmbudhir vatsa-padaṁ paraṁ padaṁ
padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām
For one who has accepted the boat of the lotus feet of the Lord, who is the shelter of the cosmic manifestation and is famous as Mukunda, or the giver of mukti, the ocean of the material world is like the water contained in a calf's footprint. The place where there are no material miseries, or Vaikuṇṭha, is his goal, not the place where there is danger in every step of life. SB 10.14.54
tvayy ambujākṣākhila-sattva-dhāmni
samādhināveśita-cetasaike
tvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena
kurvanti govatsa-padaṁ bhavābdhim
O lotus-eyed Lord, by concentrating one's meditation on your lotus feet, which are the reservoir of all existence, and by accepting those lotus feet as the boat by which to cross the ocean of nescience, one follows in the footsteps of great saints. By this simple process, one can cross the ocean of nescience as easily as one steps over the hoof print of a calf. SB 10.2.30
What difficulty is there in this? There should be no fear in getting on that boat.
