Five Lessons From The Syamantaka Jewel Story

"Materialistic persons who can achieve such huge quantities of gold every day are not interested in Krishna consciousness. Sometimes, therefore, in order to show special favor, Krishna takes away great accumulations of materialistic wealth from a person and thus makes him a great devotee. But Satrajit refused to abide by the order of Krishna and did not deliver the jewel to Him." (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 2, Ch 1)
