-Jata-rati sadhaka and ajati-rati sadhaka
-The anger of the jiva arises when there is an obstacle to the satisfaction of the senses, but the anger of the saints is of a different nature. It always arises for the good of the jivas. To fail to understand this is to commit an offence.
-Meaning of rati and ruchi
-3 external signs of rati: bhagavat-prapti-abhilasa, anukul-abhilasa, suhrida-bhava-abhilasa
-Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains in Bhajana-rahasya how sadhaka can relish the mellows of the holy names
-To get the secret of Bhajana-rahasya you must come to Mahaprabhu
-4 factors by which you can tell that you are not developing in the spiritual life: 1) the taste for chanting of the holy names is not increasing; 2) seva-vritti towards Guru and Krishna is not increasing; 3) attachment to material things is not decreasing; 4) you have no realisations
-If you serve too much and don’t have time to chant the holy names, reduce the amount of seva, or chant only 16 rounds, but both should be present in your life
