Just like it is impossible for us to count the unlimited sand particles on the beach, there are unlimited jivas wandering according to their fruitive activities (karma) up and down in this Universe in different situations. Among them some are lucky to get the mercy of Guru-Vaishnava or Ganga-Devi or Go-Mata or Tulsi Devi, etc.
brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja ( CC Madhya 19.151)
“According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛṣṇa. By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.
