Since pure devotees give up their homes, wives, children, relatives, riches and even their lives simply to serve Me, without any desire for material improvement in this life or in the next, how can I give up such devotees at any time?
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
ये दारागारपुत्राप्तान् प्राणान् वित्तमिमं परम् । हित्वा मां शरणं याताः कथं तांस्त्यक्तुमुत्सहे
ye dārāgāraputrāptān prāṇān vittamimaṃ param | hitvā māṃ śaraṇaṃ yātāḥ kathaṃ tāṃstyaktumutsahe
