Hare Krsna-Below are 4 quotes where Srila Prabhupada tells us how the pure devotee goes about

his business in the material word depending upon the Lord in the heart and no one else.

Damaghosa das

1.) 760620SB.TOR                   Lectures                  The human life is meant for visnu-aradhanam. That is therefore the varnasrama: brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra. The aim is visnu-aradhanam. Visnu-aradhanam param. We are flattering so many people to get some benefit. Everyone has to flatter. Businessman has to flatter his customer; a servant has to flatter his master; and so on, so on, some friend, some minister to get some favor. But Lord Siva says, “So why don’t you flatter Visnu? Visnu-aradhanam param.” Tadiyanam aradhanam. This is the sastric injunction.

2.) 760322SB.MAY                   Lectures
We can ask favor from anyone, but we must know that nobody can favor us unless it is sanctioned by the Supreme Person. We must always know. Not that because one is very, in
a superior position, he can favor me. No, he cannot favor you unless it is sanctioned by the Supreme. Suppose we approach sometimes a rich man to favor us with some contribution, membership fees. But that rich man cannot favor us unless it is sanctioned by Krsna. Krsna is there within himself,(as supersoul) and if He says that “You give him this money,” the man will give us. So we shall not be sorry. Suppose we go somewhere and he did not favor us. We should not be sorry. We should know that Krsna did not dictate him. He is not so fortunate now; therefore Krsna did not dictate him. So there is nothing to be sorry. This should be our principle. Because without Krsna’s sanction…

…depending on Krishna, because after all, He is the ultimate Master of all situations. It is not the doctor, or the medicine, or the place, but it is ultimately Krishna Who is the Master to do every thing. With this viewpoint we shall go forward.

Prabhupada: No, we don’t care for Indians and Europeans. We care for Krsna, that’s all. I didn’t care for anyone. I simply care for Krsna, that’s all. And my Guru Maharaja, that’s all. I went to your country, not supported by Indians and Europeans. I went on the order of my Guru Maharaja and under the shelter of Krsna’s protection, that’s all. . We want two favours. One from guru, one from Krsna. That’s all. We don’t want anyone’s favour.
