"The greatest capitalist, the greatest oligarch, the greatest tycoon, the most wealthy person who has the most treasure is that person who has Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa prema, love for Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa."
Mahāprabhu asks: of all kinds of treasure, which is the greatest for the jīva? There were many wealthy people in history, and they are all dead; not one of them could take with him even one hair of his head. Each of us comes into this world empty-handed and leaves it empty-handed. All wealth is destructible, so the one who owns it is not yet the wealthiest. The treasure that is not destroyed is prema, love for Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
Count your rounds the way one counts one's real wealth.
