fourfold (i.e., the fourfold goals of human life: religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation).
Through analytic knowledge, ritualistic work, mystic yoga, mundane business and political rule, people seek to advance in religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation. But because you are My devotee, whatever men can accomplish in these multifarious ways you will very easily find within Me.

Lord Kṛṣṇa is the basis of all that exists, and one who takes exclusive shelter of the Lord never suffers any loss whatsoever for his intelligent decision to surrender to Kṛṣṇa.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Through analytical knowledge, ritualistic work, mystic yoga, mundane business and politics, people seek to advance in religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation. Whatever men can accomplish in these multifarious ways I give to my devotee. “If some devotee becomes attracted to the results of jṣāna or karma, then he should practice those methods.” The Lord answers, addressing Uddhava, but meaning people in general. Whatever of the four goals men seek by jṣāna, karma, yoga or other means I give all of those results to my devotee (tāvāṁs te aham). What is the need for my devotee to practice these other methods? Jṣāna gives mokṣa. Karma gives dharma. Yoga gives kāma. Professions like farming and governing give artha. It is said: yā vai sādhana-sampattiḥ puruṣārtha-catuṣṭaye | tayā vinā tad āpnoti naro nārāyaṇāśrayaḥ || The devotee attains the results of all methods practiced for attaining the four goals of life.
