Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.6.26
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
The life of a sincere devotee of the Lord is thus explained in a nutshell by Nārada Muni by his personal example. Such a devotee, after his initiation by the Lord or His bona fide representative, takes very seriously chanting of the glories of the Lord and traveling all over the world so that others may also hear the glories of the Lord. Such devotees have no desire for material gain. They are conducted by one single desire: to go back to Godhead. This awaits them in due course on quitting the material body. Because they have the highest aim of life, going back to Godhead, they are never envious of anyone, nor are they proud of being eligible to go back to Godhead. Their only business is to chant and remember the holy name, fame and pastimes of the Lord and, according to personal capacity, to distribute the message for others’ welfare without motive of material gain.
Kṛtāni refers to the Lord’s pastimes. Kālam pratīkṣan (expecting the time) means “When will that time come when I will become an associate of the Lord?” I had no pride or selfishness since I always thought “Who is more fallen than I?”
