My dear, , in this material world everything is zero. It has no value. Even if we take millions, and billions, and trillions, and quadrillions zeros it still adds up to zero. This is why the Mayavadis want to leave this material world behind. But if we put a one (Krishna) in front of all the zeros it becomes a gargantuan, unlimitedly valuable number.  Thus we should see Krishna as the owner of everything and engage everything in His service. In this way everything becomes valuable. All talents and assets can be engaged in Krishna's service.
