Lord Krishna says: "My dear Uddhava, neither philosophical speculation, nor meditational yoga, nor penances can give Me such pleasure as devotional service practiced by the living entities."
Therefore, one who is poor in devotional service to Krsna is always in need of material gain because of the Lord not being pleased with him.
Sometimes he suffers the bites of poisonous creatures in the form of material tribulations, and sometimes he is baffled; sometimes he follows the philosophy of monism and thereby loses his identity, and sometimes he is swallowed by a large serpent. It is only by abandoning all this and becoming fixed in Krsna consciousness, devotional service to the Lord, that one can actually achieve the perfection of life which is to awaken the love for Godhead.
