Real devotees of bhakti-yoga accept only the material necessities of life
absolutely needed to maintain the body and soul together; they refrain
completely from all exaggerated material sense gratification. They are
prepared to undergo all kinds of tribulation, provided they can make
progress in the realization of the Personality of Godhead.
