Some people believe that material prosperity is a sign of God's pleasure and material adversity, a sign of his displeasure.
Such beliefs are typical of material religiosity -- a preliminary level in approaching God. Gita wisdom takes us much higher to the level of selfless love for Krishna. At that level, devotees focus simply on his pleasure, not on their material status.
