niskincana vayam sasvan

niskincana-jana-priyah

tasma tprayena na hy adhya

mam bhajanti su-madhyame

SYNONYMS

niskincanah -- having no possessions; vayam -- We; sasvat -- always; niskincana-jana -- to those who have no possessions; priyah -- very dear; tasmat -- therefore; prayena -- usually; na -- not; hi -- indeed; adhyah -- the rich; mam -- Me; bhajanti -- worship; su-madhyame -- O fine-waisted one.

TRANSLATION

We have no material possessions, and We are dear to those who similarly have nothing. Therefore, O slender one, the wealthy hardly ever worship Me.

PURPORT

Like the Lord, His devotees are uninterested in material sense gratification, being awakened to the superior pleasure of Krsna consciousness. Those who are intoxicated by material wealth cannot appreciate the supreme wealth of the kingdom of God.
