The Srimad Bhagavatham (canto 1, ch. 8, text 37) states: “The perfection of life is, therefore, to become dependent on the will of the Lord, instead of becoming falsely independent in the material world” Does this mean we have to write off the material world and purely rely on God for our daily needs? I don’t believe so. God placed us on the earth so that we can gain wisdom through the activities of taking care of ourselves and interaction with other people.
