আমি তোমায় বহু অন্ন পাঠাইমু দিনে ।

The purport explains that Kṛṣṇa personally carries His devotees’ necessities. A devotee therefore need not be anxious about life’s material requirements.
The principle is to accept only what is absolutely necessary. A devotee should remain alert not to create unnecessary needs.
