(Krishna washing the feet of Sudama Brahmana being pleased with his austerities)
"I think it is good to remain financially poor because always we shall be able to pray Krishna, asking His help to execute His service. If all of a sudden we become very strong financially, Maya may dictate us for sense enjoyment, and we may fall a prey to her tactics. Therefore to remain poor is one of the qualifications for advancing in Krishna Consciousness."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, June 14, 1968)
