So, it's a very exciting life, depending on Kṛṣṇa. And Prabhupāda speaks in one lecture, saying that we have these four regulative principles. One of them is gambling, he said, but we have a replacement for gambling, and that is surrender to Kṛṣṇa.

So whatever you get, you're going to lose anyway. But there's this fear that "I won't survive unless I try to accumulate wealth, protect myself." I'm not saying you shouldn't accumulate some wealth, whatever you need, but there's always a fear. But ananyāś cintayanto māṁ, ye janāḥ paryupāsate...
