Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 1 - 6

A Kṛṣṇa conscious man is not in need of anything, because the Lord fulfills all his material necessities.

BG 2.70, Purport: As long as one has the material body, the demands of the body for sense gratification will continue. The devotee, however, is not disturbed by such desires, because of his fullness. A Kṛṣṇa conscious man is not in need of anything, because the Lord fulfills all his material necessities. Therefore he is like the ocean—always full in himself. Desires may come to him like the waters of the rivers that flow into the ocean, but he is steady in his activities, and he is not even slightly disturbed by desires for sense gratification.
