If you know Krsna, then you know everything. If you get Krsna, then you get everything. Why should you try to get this thing, that thing, that thing? Simply try to get Krsna, Krsna's protection. Then you get everything. You simply try to know Krsna; then you know everything. Sriya-pati. Sriyah patim yajna-patim jagat-patim.


Prabhupāda: Śriya-pati. Śriya, the goddess of fortune. He is not only sātvatāṁ patim. He is not only the Lord of the devotees. So therefore if we accept the Lord of everything, then where is the question of our poverty? If your father is very big man, very rich man, then where is the question of poverty? So devotee renounces. But a devotee has got all the opulences of the Supreme Lord, background. So he doesn't want to be opulent himself, but the background is all-opulent. If need be . . . just like a small child, a very rich man's son. So he may remain a simple child, but the all the property of his father is there on his back. If there is need, the father will spend all the property for the child. So the child does not require to acquire property.

That is bhakti. If you simply become devotee . . . because Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Lord, is described here, sātvatāṁ patim. Sātvata, a devotee. Then you get everything. If you know Kṛṣṇa, then you know everything. If you get Kṛṣṇa, then you get everything. Why should you try to get this thing, that thing, that thing? Simply try to get Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa's protection. Then you get everything. You simply try to know Kṛṣṇa; then you know everything. Śriya-patiṁ. Śriyaḥ patiṁ yajña-patiṁ jagat-patim (SB 2.9.15).
