Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 6, Ch. 16]
yayāv aṅgirasā sākaṁ dhāma svāyambhuvaṁ prabho
śrī-śukaḥ uvāca—Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; bhaktāya—unto the devotee; etām—this; prapannāya—unto one who fully surrendered; vidyām—transcendental knowledge; ādiśya—instructing; nāradaḥ—the great sage Nārada; yayau—left; aṅgirasā—the great saint Aṅgirā; sākam—with; dhāma—for the topmost planet; svāyambhuvam—belonging to Lord Brahmā; prabho—O King.

It is only at this stage that  bhakti-yoga  can be instructed. As long as one is attached to material enjoyment,  bhakti-yoga  cannot be understood. This is confirmed in  Bhagavad-gītā  (2.44):
bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṁ tayāpahṛta-cetasām vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ samādhau na vidhīyate
“In the minds of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence, and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination of devotional service to the Supreme Lord does not take
