Ocean of Material Problems

Our life in this material world is full of problems. It is likened to an ocean of suffering. But if we engage ourselves in devotional service to Krishna, especially by constantly chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra (hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare / hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare), this ocean of misery is reduced to the size of a calf's hoofprint filled with water. We can step over it with little effort.
