We come into this world with nothing and will leave the same way. We cannot take the materialist things like money, cars and houses, with us. Nor can we take the academic knowledge of this world with us. Everything in this material world is temporary. The only thing that will stay with us is our karma, our history of the good and bad actions taken in this and previous lives.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Whereas Sankara, the greatest of the impersonalists, offers his due respects to Krishna and His book Bhagavad Gita, the foolish say that we need not surrender to the personal Krishna. But the result, Krishna says, Give it to Me. So there is no harm to become very big businessman, earning money. Then in any position you can remain Krishna consciousness. As a matter of fact Krisna is only an avatara of Maha Visnu, and there are many such avataras.
