The Srimad Bhagavatam describes there are two kinds of renunciates. There are those who are adverse toward material gain of any kind. Even the thought of wealth does not enter their minds, and if presented to them, they will always refuse. The other kind of renunciate is different. They are neither adverse towards wealth nor attached to it. Rather, they see wealth as belonging to Krishna and their own relationship with it as a duty to use it in Krishna's service. Rendering favorable service to the Lord also means we are wiling to accept whatever facility or opulence the Lord chooses to give us and then use it in Krishna's service, never for our own pleasure.
