O my Lord, the material miseries are without factual existence for the soul. Yet as long as the conditioned soul sees the body as meant for sense enjoyment, he cannot get out of the entanglement of material miseries, being influenced by Your external energy.
PURPORT
The whole trouble of the living entity in material existence is that he has an independent conception of life. He is always dependent on the rules of the Supreme Lord, in both the conditioned and liberated states, but by the influence of the external energy the conditioned soul thinks himself independent of the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead. His constitutional position is to dovetail himself with the desire of the supreme will, but as long as he does not do so, he is sure to drag on in the shackles of material bondage. As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (2.55), prajahāti yadā kāmān sarvān pārtha mano-gatān: he has to give up all sorts of plans manufactured by mental concoction. The living entity has to dovetail himself with the supreme will. That will help him to get out of the entanglement of material existence.
Srlmad Bhagavatam 3.9.9
Amongst the roads and between the buildings
There's a man with some lowly feelings
He doesn't have family and he needs some love
When people walk past him he looks above.
Why have you forsaken me, you hear him say
I'm here alone in such a bad way
The city engulfs me I feel so low
I sit and I wait for my killer blow.
What is it YOU value in the city you live
It's a shame that saying people is deemed creative
Caring about others seems more and more unique
When and how did compassion float up the creek?

Met Enrick during my trip in Singapore. He was kind enough to show me around & bring me to try some delicious food! Of course, a Flickr meeting couldn't be completed w/o a field trip & photo session!!!
Many thanks to Enrick's great company & hospitality!...:-)
We asked them if they ever received letters from their sponsor. Martha stepped out of the room and returned with several letters from Maggie & Cassie Goff, Samuel’s sponsor.
