Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 7


Sanskrit:

इत्थं कर्मगतीर्गच्छन्बह्वभद्रवहा: पुमान् ।आभूतसम्प्लवात्सर्गप्रलयावश्न‍ुतेऽवश: ॥ ७ ॥

ITRANS:

itthaṁ karma-gatīr gacchanbahv-abhadra-vahāḥ pumānābhūta-samplavāt sarga-pralayāv aśnute ’vaśaḥ

Translation:

Thus the conditioned living entity is forced to experience repeated birth and death. Impelled by the reactions of his own activities, he helplessly wanders from one inauspicious situation to another, suffering from the moment of creation until the time of cosmic annihilation.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Madhvācārya, after hearing that the living entity is repeatedly subjected to birth and death within the material world, if one still considers such a helpless entity equal to God in all respects one will surely fall into the darkest regions of the universe, from which it is difficult to rise.
