- Vaisnavas never take credit for writing a book; they always give credit to Radha and Krsna.
- Lila of Jayadeva Gosvami fails to write a verse from the Gita Govinda and Krsna comes to write the verse for him: “Oh, Radha, place Your feet on My head!”
- Lila of how Vyasadeva included Her name, Sri, in the Bhagavatam and thus Radha, satisfied, agreed to sign the authorship of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

- The gopis are satisfied only when they see Krsna with the peacock feather and the flute.
- Relationships with Krsna in the transcendental world are eternal; relationships in the material world, though true, are transient.
- Four types of separation: purva-raga, pravasa, maan, and prema vaicittya.
- Four types of meeting: sankshipta, sankirna, sampan, samriddhiman.
- The increasing stages of prema condensation.

- You have to follow the dharma of the varna you were born in. But it is the nature of the person that expresses his qualities: brahmana, vaisya, ksatriya, sudra.
- Funny lila of Krishna telling His father that He would only wear shoes and an umbrella if all the cows did too.
- The cloud always protects Krsna from the heat of the sun; a true disciple never walks in front of the guru and serves the guru with all affection.
