However, Śrīla Prabhupāda provides a deeper perspective, showing that poverty is not always a simple lack of funds. It can be a consequence of one's past actions, a temporary shift in the fluctuating energy of the goddess of fortune, or even a deliberate arrangement by the Supreme Lord to facilitate spiritual growth.

Śrīla Prabhupāda describes this state through the analogy of distilled rainwater: as it falls from the sky, it is perfectly pure, but the moment it touches the earth, it becomes muddy and polluted. In the same way, the soul’s original nature becomes polluted through contact with the material atmosphere and the desire for independent enjoyment. This article expl..."

However, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that these efforts are temporary and often contradictory. The actual "peace formula" and the highest perfection of activity is ''saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam''—acting in such a way that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is pleased. When the Lord is satisfied, the devotee naturally becomes..."

Generally, becoming pious is seen as a result of strenuous endeavor, such as expensive sacrifices or long pilgrimages. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda reveals a much simpler and more powerful method suitable for the modern age. By engaging in the process of ''bhakti'', specifically through hearing and chanting, a person is purified of sinful contamination and attains the highest standa..."
