When Prahlada Maharaja was offered benediction by the Lord, “My dear Prahlada, now whatever you want you can ask from Me,” Prahlada Maharaja said, “My dear Lord, You are so opulent and I am so poor. And I am addicted to this material enjoyment. You are offering me, ‘Whatever you want, you can take from Me.’ ” Just imagine. Suppose I am a poor man, and if a rich man says, “Swamiji, whatever millions of dollars you want, you can ask from me,” then I shall put my claim, a big, very big amount: “Oh, here is a great opportunity.” But Prahlada Maharaja refused. Prahlada Maharaja said, “My dear Lord, it is my duty to render service unto You not in exchange of something, gain. Oh, I am not a merchant that I am doing this.” Vanig-vrtti. So the Lord was very satisfied. That is the way of pure devotion. That was taught by Lord Caitanya.
