In one of the famous verses of Prahlāda Mahārāja (SB 7.9.28):

evaṁ janaṁ nipatitaṁ prabhavāhi-kūpe

kāmābhikāmam anu yaḥ prapatan prasaṅgāt

kṛtvātmasāt surarṣiṇā bhagavan gṛhītaḥ

so ’haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām

he says, and Prabhupāda was very fond of this verse and it fits well with today and the theme of what do we do now, that Prabhupāda is no longer physically here, as we often repeat.

'Evaṁ janaṁ nipatitaṁ', Prahlāda expresses this sense of gratitude that you saved me, my Spiritual Master saved me from what? From a pit full of snakes and he says 'kāmābhikāmam anu yaḥ prapatan prasaṅgāt' .I was just following the normal course of activities which leads, one after another into this unfortunate well, where there's no escape. And then he says 'kṛtvātmasāt surarṣiṇā', but you've purified me, 'kṛtvātmasāt'. He said you caused me to come to a higher standard of life. 'Surarṣiṇā' who did it? The sage Nārda, my Spiritual Master, 'bhagavan gṛhītaḥ'. And then he finishes, 'so ’haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām'. So he says then how can I give up his service? So the impetus..
