satyaṁ diśaty arthitam arthito nṛṇāṁ naivārtha-do yat punar arthitā yataḥ svayaṁ vidhatte bhajatām anicchatām icchā-pidhānaṁ nija-pāda-pallavam
“ ‘Whenever Kṛṣṇa is requested to fulfill one’s desire, He undoubtedly does so, but He does not award anything which, after being enjoyed, will cause one to petition Him again and again to fulfill further desires. When one has other desires but engages in the Lord’s service, Kṛṣṇa forcibly gives one shelter at His lotus feet, where one will forget all other desires.’

This is a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (5.19.27).

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
