Akiñcana-gocara : Realized by a person who has no material possession

Akiñcana, Akiñcana means do not possess anything material. Akiñcana-gocara. Queen Kuntī, when she was receiving Kṛṣṇa, she said, “My dear Kṛṣṇa, You are Akiñcana-gocara. You are realized by a person who has no material possession. And You have given us now so much material possession. How we can understand You?” That was… Kuntī was regretting that “When we are in distress, You are always with us. Now You have given us kingdom and everything. Now You are going away to Dvārakā. What is this, Kṛṣṇa? Better let us go to again to that distressed condition so that You remain with us.” Akiñcana-gocara (SB 1.8.26). Kṛṣṇa is akiñcana-gocara. Anyone who wants to enjoy material life, it is not possible to become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious. This is very secret.

Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, niṣkiñcanasya bhagavad-bhajanonmukhasya. Bhagavad-bhajana, to become devotee, Kṛṣṇa conscious, is meant for niṣkiñcanasya, one who does not possess anything in the material world. That does not mean he should be poverty-stricken. No. He should know it fully that “Nothing belongs to me; everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa. I am simply His servant, that’s all.” This is called akiñcana. If I think that “Keeping Kṛṣṇa in front, let me possess some material things,” that is another cheating. You should be fully conscious, that “Everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa and nothing to us.” Then Kṛṣṇa becomes your suhṛt. He takes charge, how your benefit will be there, ultimate.

Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakaṁ dadāmi (BG 10.10). Prīti-pūrvakam. This is very great determination, “Kṛṣṇa, I simply want You, nothing, anything else. Nothing.” Na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ kavitāṁ vā jagadīśa (CC Antya 20.29, Siksastaka 4). This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s teaching. Caitanya Mahāprabhu has taught this philosophy repeatedly. Niṣkiñcanasya bhagavad-bhajana. Bhagavad-bhajana means He Himself become niṣkiñcana. He was Kṛṣṇa Himself, most opulent. Tyaktvā surepsitaḥ, sudustyaja-surepsita-rājya-lakṣmīm (SB 11.5.34). Caitanya Mahāprabhu had the most beautiful wife, goddess of fortune, Viṣṇu-priyā, Lakṣmī-priyā. But for the benefit of the whole world, although He is Kṛṣṇa, He showed us the example. At the age of twenty-four years, He took sannyāsa.
