Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.70.26
"People in this world are always engaged in sinful activities and are thus bewildered about their real duty, which is to worship You according to Your commandments.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.70.28
"O Lord, with this corpselike body, always full of fear, we bear the burden of the relative happiness of kings, which is just like a dream.

Therefore I surrender unto You." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/70/39

"Never again will we hanker for a miragelike kingdom — a kingdom that must be slavishly served by this mortal body, which is simply a source of disease and suffering and which is declining at every moment. Nor, O almighty Lord, will we hanker to enjoy the heavenly fruits of pious work in the next life, since the promise of such rewards is simply an empty enticement for the ears." "Please tell us how we may constantly remember Your lotus feet, though we continue in the cycle of birth and death in this world." "Again and again we offer our obeisances unto Lord Kṛṣṇa, Hari, the son of Vasudeva.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.74.20-21
"This entire universe is founded upon Him, as are the great sacrificial performances, with their sacred fires, oblations and mantras. Sāṅkhya and yoga both aim toward Him, the one without a second. O assembly members, that unborn Lord, relying solely on Himself, creates, maintains and destroys this cosmos by His personal energies, and thus the existence of this universe depends on Him alone." Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.74.20-21
