Krishna Takes Care Of Our Maintenance - Prabhupada 0850

So if somebody may argue, "Oh, if I completely engage myself in service of Kṛṣṇa, then what to do? How I shall live in this material world? Who will take care of my maintenance?" That is our foolishness. If you serve an ordinary person here, you get your maintenance; you get your wages, the dollars. You are so foolish that you are going to serve Kṛṣṇa and He is not going to maintain you? Yoga-kṣemaṁ vahāmy aham (BG 9.22).
Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā that, "I personally take charge of his maintenance." Why don't you believe it? Practically you can see it. That means faithlessness. There is no reason. Suppose I am serving some master, so-called master, and he is at once paying me wages—"Take your wages"—twenty-five dollars, ten dollars or whatever it may be, at once paying. And I am going to serve the Supreme, and there is no maintenance for me? Oh, what a foolishness.
