transmitted to him to help him find his Father and his heritage, love for God. It is thanks to the devotional service performed in full awareness of Krishna that this treasure can be found. Such is the hidden fortune which never dries up; so that by acquiring it, you become rich forever.

Who is poor in devotion and conscience of Krishna will always be in lack of material gains, sometimes suffering from the bites of poisonous creatures, sometimes undergoing failure, sometimes still adhering to the doctrine of monism to lose its identity or being devoured by a huge snake, the illusion.

By progressing on this path, she acquires love for God and, developing it, frees herself from all material enslavement. Our true occupation is devotional service, and our ultimate goal, the love of God.

In the material world, these souls are thus entitled to various punishments and rewards.
