Pearls of wisdom - 118

The priests to Lord Vishnu:

O Lord of lords, we are completely ignorant of the execution of dharma, artha, kâma and moksha, the process of liberation, because we do not actually know the goal of life. You have appeared personally before us like a person soliciting worship, but actually You are present here just so we can see You. You have come out of Your abundant and causeless mercy in order to serve our purpose, our interest, and give us the benefit of Your personal glory called apavarga, liberation. You have come, although You are not properly worshiped by us due to our ignorance.

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 5 Chapter 3 Verse 9
