Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesKṛṣṇa Consciousness Is the Superior Wealth
“We have no material possessions, and We are dear to those who similarly have nothing. Therefore, O slender one, the wealthy hardly ever worship Me.”
What the purport teaches
- Like the Lord, His devotees are uninterested in material sense gratification. They have awakened to the superior pleasure of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
- Kṛṣṇa says He is dear to those who have no material possessions.
- Those intoxicated by material wealth cannot appreciate the supreme wealth of the kingdom of God. The Lord says the wealthy hardly ever worship Him.

Ask yourself
Does attachment to material wealth make it harder for me to appreciate Kṛṣṇa consciousness?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
