Then, accompanied by the seven ṛṣis and surrounded by all kinds of living entities, you shall get aboard that boat, and without moroseness you shall easily travel with your companions on the ocean of inundation, the only illumination being the effulgence of the great ṛṣis.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Thereafter, you should collect all types of herbs and seeds of higher and lower species, and accompanied by the seven sages and surrounded by all kinds of living entities, you should get aboard that huge boat, and without distress you shall easily travel on the dark ocean of inundation by the light from the effulgent sages. Gathering (verb should be supplied) all herbs, accompanied by the chief living entities (sattva) and with Kaśyapa, Manu and their associates, you will move about by the light from the sages.

Personal Guidance

Collect herbs and seeds, load the boat, accompany the seven sages and all kinds of beings, travel without moroseness on the inundation, illumined by the sages' effulgence. Salvage and accompaniment are detailed.

Reflection Questions

What 'herbs and seeds' should I be gathering now for an unknown later voyage?
Whose 'sage-effulgence' will illumine my dark passage — and am I cultivating their company?
