Bhagavad Gita 7.16

चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जनाः सुकृतिनोऽर्जुन।आर्तो जिज्ञासुरर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ॥

caturvidhā bhajante māṃ janāḥ sukṛtino'rjuna |ārto jijñāsurarthārthī jñānī ca bharatarṣabha ||

Four kinds of virtuous men worship Me, O Arjuna, and they are the distressed, the seekers of knowledge, the seekers of wealth, and the wise, O Lord of the Bharatas.

O Arjuna! The righteous who worship Me are grouped in stages: first, those who suffer, next those who desire knowledge, then those who thirst after truth, and lastly those who attain wisdom.
