So 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 Hiranyakasipu 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 Prahlada Maharaja says, "No. Nothing of these items can help you to be promoted to the transcendental platform of devotional service. Nothing. Only bhakti." And Krsna also says in the Bhagavad-gita, bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55). He never said that by karma, by jnana, by yoga. Nothing. There are four things for elevation: karma, jnana, yoga and, lastly, bhakti. Bhakti is the ultimate goal. Karma, you cannot become perfect if it is not mixed up with bhakti. That is called karma-yoga. Jnana itself is useless unless it is added with bhakti. That is called jnana-yoga. Similarly, hatha-yoga... Every yoga... Everything is yoga: karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, dhyana-yoga, hatha-yoga. But yoga means connection, link-up with the Supreme. Then it is karma-yoga, dhyana-yoga, jnana-yoga. When this yoga becomes completely pure, then - without karma, without jnana, without mystic power - that is called pure yoga.

So that pure yoga means love of Godhead: "Krsna is my Lord; I am Krsna's servant," this much understanding, that "I am eternal servant of Krsna, so my life is for Krsna. Therefore all my activities should be simply directed for the benefit of Krsna." This is called pure yoga.
