Nobody can captivate Krsna by all these material possessions. These are material possessions: money, then manpower, beauty, education, austerity, mystic power and so on, so on. There are so many things. They are not capable of approaching the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krsna personally says, bhaktya mam abhijanati [Bg. 18.55]. He doesn't say all these material possessions, that "If one is very rich man, he can have My favor." No. Krsna is not a poor man like me, that if somebody gives me some money, I become benefited. He's self-sufficient, atmarama. So there is no need of any help from anyone else. He's fully satisfied, atmarama. Only bhakti, love, that is required.
