TRANSLATION

“However, my Lord, these are not the principal results of meditating upon
Your lotus feet. Material opulence is very flickering. Therefore it is simply a
glimpse of the result of Your mercy.

PURPORT

One can achieve the highest perfection of life simply by meditating upon the
lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Generally people are concerned with the
four religious principles, namely religion, material opulence, sense gratification and
liberation. However, as indicated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (dharmah_projjhita-
kaitavo ‘tra), success in these four kinds of material and spiritual gain are not the
true results of devotional service. The true result of devotional service is the actual
development of one’s dormant love for Krsna in every circumstance. By the mercy
of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Gopinatha Pattanayaka could understand that the
material benefits he had achieved were not the ultimate result of meditating upon
His lotus feet. The true result comes when one is detached from material opu-
lences. Therefore Gopinatha Pattanayaka prayed to the Lord for such detachment.
