The mercy of Krishna and rendering of devotional service, all these help one give up the association of non-devotees and material opulence awarded by the external energy, Maya. A pure devotee is never attracted by material opulence, for he understands that wasting time to acquire material opulence is a misuse of the gift of human life.

 

Chaitanya Charithaamrutha, Madhya Leela, 24.104
