Text 144] The Lord Instructs Sanatana Gosvami 79
the loving service of the Lord and to enjoy spiritual bliss from that service. One is
said to be in a poverty-stricken condition when one forgets the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. One has to end such a life of poverty in order to auto-
matically end the miserable conditions of material existence. One is automatically
liberated from material enjoyment when one tastes the service of Krsna. One
does not have to endeavor separately for opulence. Opulence automatically
comes to the pure devotee, even though he does not desire material happiness.
