Pure devotion means refusing everything from God while offering everything to Him.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Anantarām Śāstrījī: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, 7.9.55 [chants verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees respond] [break] evaṁ pralobhyamāno 'pi varair loka-pralobhanaiḥ ekāntitvād bhagavati naicchat tān asurottamaḥ [SB 7.9.55] [02:00] Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Translation: "Prahlāda Mahārāja was the best person in the family of demons.
Demons always aspire for material happiness, yet even though Prahlāda was somewhat allured when the Supreme Personality of Godhead offered him benedictions for material happiness, because of his unalloyed Kṛṣṇa consciousness he did not want to take any material benefit for sense enjoyment." Prabhupāda: evaṁ pralobhyamāno 'pi varair loka-pralobhanaiḥ ekāntitvād bhagavati naicchat tān asurottamaḥ [SB 7.9.55] So this is conclusion of Nārada Muni, that this boy, although born in asura family... Asura means those who are too much materially... Not too much; only materially interested—they are called asuras. Different types of material enjoyment.
Karma, jñāna, yoga, they are all material enjoyment. Karma, karmīs, generally we see everywhere. They are working so very hard, making plans how to improve material enjoyment. So they are called karmīs.
And jñānīs, their demand is also very great: to become one with the Supreme, to become God. These are material desires. And then yoga, to display, demonstrate magic: "I can prepare gold. I can travel in the sky.
I can walk on the water. I can eat broken glasses." Yes. People will gather. "I can remain without any breathing underneath the ground." These things are demonstrated.
So people like it, something wonderful. And he says, "I am Bhagavān," and the rascals accept. So these things are loka-pralobhanaiḥ. Loka-pralo...
These things can mislead the people in general, but they are not very much attractive to the devotees. Devotees, they are not attracted. In the history of the devotees there was one devotee of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Īśāna. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to give him some benediction.
