According to the smrti scriptures, a sannyasi should not expect anything from

Lord; they always consider themselves eternal servants of Krsna, and they want to
see everyone in the world become Krsna conscious. For this reason, a Vaisnava
sannyasi always offers his blessings to everyone, saying, krsne matir astu (“May
you become Krsna conscious”).
