Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Bhagavad-bhakti is not dependent on any material possession. Material possession, the description is fully given here. If one is very rich, dhana, he cannot think that "I can become a devotee of the Lord," because Hiraṇyakaśipu possessed the riches of the whole universe, but he could not become a devotee. So this is misconception, that "Because I am very rich," "I am very beautiful," "I am very intelligent," "I am a great scholar," "I am very prestigious person," and so on, so on . . . There are so many things. But Prahlāda Mahārāja says, "No. Nothing of these items can help you to be promoted to the transcendental platform of devotional service. Nothing. Only bhakti." And Kṛṣṇa also says in the Bhagavad-gītā, bhaktyā mām abhijānāti (BG 18.55)."
