SB 10.60.13
aspasta-vartmanam pumsam
 aloka-patham iyusam
asthitah padavim su-bhru
 prayah sidanti yositah



Translation:
O fine-browed lady, women are usually destined to suffer when they stay with men whose behavior is uncertain and who pursue a path not approved by society.



SB 10.60.14
niskiƱcana vayam sasvan
 niskiƱcana-jana-priyah
tasma tprayena na hy adhya
 mam bhajanti su-madhyame

Translation:
We have no material possessions, and We are dear to those who similarly have nothing. Therefore, O slender one, the wealthy hardly ever worship Me.

Purport:
Like the Lord, His devotees are uninterested in material sense gratification, being awakened to the superior pleasure of Krsna consciousness. Those who are intoxicated by material wealth cannot appreciate the supreme wealth of the kingdom of God.
