( Srimad Bhãgavatam, 10:87:33)

Oh! birthless Lord!They who endeavour to break the most restless steed of their mind, not subdued even by those who have controlled their senses and breath, taking great pains over other devices for mind control
neglecting the feet of their Preceptor
remain beset with hundred and one calamities in this ocean of ‘samsãra’ (world) just as the merchants who have no Captain for their vessel suffer in the voyage on the sea.
