kṛṣṇa kahe, — 'āmā bhaje, māge viᚣaya-sukha
amṛta chāḍi' viᚣa māge, — ei baḍa mĹŤrkha

 kṛṣṇa kahe - Kṛṣṇa says; Ämā bhaje - he worships Me; māge - but requests; viᚣaya-sukha - material happiness; amṛta chāḍi' - giving up the nectar; viᚣa māge - he begs for poison; ei baḍa mĹŤrkha - he is a great fool.

“Kṛṣṇa says, ‘If one engages in My transcendental loving service but at the same time wants the opulence of material enjoyment, he is very, very foolish. Indeed, he is just like a person who gives up ambrosia to drink poison.
