Service to the Lord feteches Eternal Credit

Verse 1.5.17: So here, Narada muni is talking: What loss is there when you give up your occupation and surrender unto the lotus feet of the Lord. Even if you now fall down, still there is no loss. Since all the service you did has eternal credit and you will come back to the Lord.

Story: About a man, who at the moment of his death offered flowers to Krishna by saying: Krishnaye namaha, Govindaye namaha.

"One who has forsaken his material occupations to engage in the devotional service of the Lord may sometimes fall down while in an immature stage, yet there is no danger of his being unsuccessful. On the other hand, a nondevotee, though fully engaged in occupational duties, does not gain anything."
