coming a demigod such as Brahma or Lord Shiva, if one becomes a famous devotee of the Supreme Lord in this Age of Kali, that is very rare. Yudhisthira also, in connection with talks between Narada and Pundarik, said, “After many, many births, if somebody comes to understand that  he is the servant of Vasudeva , that person is the most famous, and can deliver all others. Similarly, in the  Bhagavad Gita  it said, “Anyone who understands that Vasudeva is everything and surrenders to Him is the most learned and wise man.” In the  Agni Puranam  it is said that liberation or transcendental life follows all the devotees of Godhead. In the  Vrihat Naradia Purana , it is also stated that even personalities like Brahma and the other demigods do not know the value of a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

One who is too much addicted to material sense gratification, or to material wealth, has no such value. When one comes to the spiritual platform in Krishna Consciousness he can understand that there are no more valuable riches than love of Radha Krishna. In the  Srimad Bhagwatam , Maharaj Dhruva sought out the Supreme Lord because he wanted to get some land, but when he saw Krishna he said, “I am so pleased that I don’t want anything.” In the  Bhagavad Gita  it is also stated that if one takes shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or is elevated to the Supreme State of love of Godhead, then there is nothing more to aspire to. Although such devotees can obtain anything they desire from the Personality of Godhead, still, a pure devotee does not ask anything from God.
