Because of my state of complete foolishness and paucity of pious activities, although the Lord offered me His personal service, I wanted material name, fame and prosperity. My case is just like that of the poor man who, when he satisfied a great emperor who wanted to give him anything he might ask, out of ignorance asked only a few broken grains of husked rice.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्

स्वाराज्यं यच्छतो मौढ्यान्मानो मे भिक्षितो बत । ईश्वरात्क्षीणपुण्येन फलीकारानिवाधनः
svārājyaṃ yacchato mauḍhyānmāno me bhikṣito bata | īśvarātkṣīṇapuṇyena phalīkārānivādhanaḥ
