"My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, because of my association with material desires, one after another, I was gradually falling into a blind well full of snakes, following the general populace. But your servant, Narada Muni, kindly accepted me as his disciple and instructed me how to achieve this transcendental postion. Therefore, my first duty is to serve him. How could I ever leave his service?" [ SB. 11.3.21 ]
