मैत्रेय उवाच न वै मुकुन्दस्य पदारविन्दयोः रजोजुषस्तात भवादृशा जनाः । वाञ्छन्ति तद्दास्यमृतेऽर्थमात्मनो यदृच्छया लब्धमनः समृद्धयः ॥ ४-९-३६ ॥
The great sage Maitreya continued: My dear Vidura, persons like you, who are pure devotees of the lotus feet of Mukunda ॥ the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who can offer liberation॥ and who are always attached to the honey of His lotus feet, are always satisfied in serving at the lotus feet of the Lord. In any condition of life, such persons remain satisfied, and thus they never ask the Lord for material prosperity. ॥ 4-9-36 ॥

महर्षि मैत्रेय ने आगे कहा : हे विदुर, आप जैसे व्यक्ति, जो मुकुन्द (मुक्तिप्रदाता भगवान्) के चरणकमलों के विशुद्ध भक्त हैं और उनके चरणकमलों में भौंरों के सदृश्य आसक्त रहते हैं, सदैव भगवान् के चरणकमलों की सेवा करने में ही प्रसन्न रहते हैं। ऐसे पुरुष, जीवन की किसी भी परिस्थिति में संतुष्ट रहते हैं और भगवान् से कभी भी किसी भौतिक सम्पन्नता की याचना नहीं करते। ॥ ४-९-३६ ॥
