Krishnāmruta Mahārnava
Kri.M 192
kāminōpi hi siddhyarthaṁ kuryurēvōpavāsanam। prīṇanāya harērnityaṁ na tu kāmyavyapēkṣayā ॥192॥
Even those who are interested in material gains should fast on every 'êkadashi' for the sake of liberation. This is for pleasing Lord Hari, not for material gains.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
