Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada explained that one should follow the instructions of the guru and then perform guru puja.-Vyasadeva has given many proofs of God’s potencies and form. The Mayavadis say that the form of the Lord is temporary, and therefore they commit an offence against the Lord. The form of the Lord is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, eternal, transcendental, and blissful...

Poverty for the devotee: because Krsna knows that the devotee would misuse the money; because Krsna knows that the devotee will use the money well, like Sanatana Gosvami who threw away the cintamani stone.
