সংসার ভ্রমিতে কোন ভাগ্যে কেহ তরে নদীর প্রবাহে যেন কাষ্ঠ লাগে তীরে
संसार भ्रमिते कोन भाग्ये केह तरे नदीर प्रवाहे येन काष्ठ लागे तीरे

Translation
"There are unlimited conditioned souls who are bereft of Lord Kṛṣṇa's service. Not knowing how to cross the ocean of nescience, they are scattered by waves, time and tide. However, some are fortunate to contact devotees, and by this contact they are delivered from the ocean of nescience, just as a log, floating down a river, accidentally washes upon the bank.
