Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Those who are unemployed, they prefer prisonhouse, that without any service, they will get free food. So anyone within this material world, they are prisoners.

Lecture on BG 1.15 -- London, July 15, 1973:

So there is no question of scarcity for devotee. Just like this morning I was discussing with a gentleman. So a devotee is not in need of everything. Why he should be? He cannot be. Even one who is not devotee, if he is getting supplies from God, how is it that the devotee will not get? Just like the government. The government, although there is prisonhouse, the government supplies the food. Not that because they have gone to the prisonhouse, they are starving. Rather, those who are unemployed, they prefer prisonhouse, that without any service, they will get free food. So anyone within this material world, they are prisoners.
