Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 10.1 to 10.13

Sādhus, saintly persons, want to preach to both the poor and the rich.

SB 10.10.17, Purport: The only business of a saintly person or sannyāsī, a person in the renounced order, is to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Sādhus, saintly persons, want to preach to both the poor and the rich, but the poor take more advantage of the sādhus' preaching than the rich do. A poor man receives sādhus very quickly, offers them obeisances, and tries to take advantage of their presence, whereas a rich man keeps a big greyhound dog at his door so that no one can enter his house.
