We are praying to Laksmiji with sambrahma, “Mother, give me little money. Give me little favor, I may be happy.” We are worshiping Sri. Still, she does not remain, Sri. Sri’s another name is Cancala. Cancala, she is in this material world. Today I may be millionaire; tomorrow I may be beggar in the street. Because every opulence depends on money. So money, here nobody can have fixed up. That is not possible. That Sri which is so flickering, they are worshiping the Lord with sambrahma, with respect. Here we are thinking, “Laksmi may not go away,” but there, Sri is thinking, “Krsna may not go away.” That is the difference. Here we are afraid that Laksmi may go away at any moment, and they are afraid Krsna may go away. This is the difference. So such Krsna, such Narayana, how He can be daridra? This is all imagination.
