-Keep mauna-vrata (speaking only krishna-katha, no mundane katha) in Ekadashi
-If you take shelter of Acyuta Krishna (a-not, cyuta-fall), you will never fall down
-Rasika-vaishnavas say that Krishna has two bad qualifications, atmaramata and aptakamata, but due to sadhu-sanga with Srimati Radhika He gets rid of those bad qualifications
-First preach to your mind, then preach to others
-Gopis’ mind is always observed with Krishna
-If I pull you by your shikha, your whole body will be pulled in automatically. Similarly, Krishna does not call the manjaris because they will come along with Srimati Radhika anyway ))
-If Krishna will call manjaris by their names, madhurya-rasa will not come. Ex. Guru calls disciples, and they go because they are afraid to make offence of disobedience. On the other hand when Guru does not call but disciples go out of love and affection that’s so sweet ))
-Srimati Radhika pulls the rope of Jagannatha chariot. That rope symbolises Her love
-Separation is higher that meeting
-Meeting is so sweet after separation. Example of a widow who lost her child and then discovered that he returned back to his life
