You try to serve Kṛṣṇa with your qualification. Because real qualification—your feeling of service. That is real qualification. So you develop that feeling, not your external qualification—beauty, wealth, knowledge, this, that. No. These things have no value. They are valuable if they are employed in Kṛṣṇa's service.

Prahlāda Mahārāja decided that "Although I am a child, I have no education, I have no studies of the Vedas, and born of atheistic father, lowborn, so all bad qualification . . . so God is worshiped by highest intellectual persons, offering Vedic hymns, and brahmins, highly cultured. So I have no such qualification. But still, all these demigods who are so highly elevated in their position, they have requested me. That means God can be pacified even by me. Otherwise how they recommend? So whatever qualification I have got, whatever intelligence I have got, I may offer Kṛṣṇa."

Therefore our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is like this, that whatever qualification you have got, that is sufficient. You begin with that qualification. You try to serve Kṛṣṇa with your qualification. Because real qualification—your feeling of service. That is real qualification. So you develop that feeling, not your external qualification—beauty, wealth, knowledge, this, that. No. These things have no value. They are valuable if they are employed in Kṛṣṇa's service. If you are very rich man, if you employ your wealth in Kṛṣṇa's service . . .

(aside) You cannot sit like that? Yes.

It is all right. But there is no need that you have to become very wealthy, then you can serve Kṛṣṇa. So Prahlāda Mahārāja says, nīco ajayā guṇa-visargam anupraviṣṭaḥ pūyeta yena pumān anuvarṇitena ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.12|SB 7.9.12]]).
