Pearls of Wisdom - 72

Lord Kapila to mother Devahuti,

The person who lives in the center of household life derives material benefits by performing religious rituals, and thereby fulfills his desire for economic development and sense gratification. Again and again he acts the same way.

Such persons are bereft of devotional service due to being too attached to sense gratification, and therefore, although they perform various kinds of sacrifices and take great vows to satisfy devatas and forefathers, they are not interested in Krishna Consciousness, devotional service.

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 3 Chapter 32 Verses 1-2
