- Cit-bala means spiritual strength. Baladeva Prabhu is Akanda-guru-tattva.
- Without spiritual strength, without the mercy of the Guru, it is not possible to progress in spiritual life.
- Baladeva Prabhu was the seventh son of Devaki. After being in the womb of Devaki for six months, He was transferred, by Yoga Maya, to the womb of Rohini Devi.

- Srila Rupa Gosvami’s Upadesamrta: vāco vegaṁ manasaḥ krodha-vegaṁ — it is only possible to control the six impulses of the mind through the mercy of Baladeva Prabhu and Srila Gurudeva.
- When Rohini Devi gave birth to Baladeva Prabhu, Yasoda Mayi gave birth to Krsna eight days later.
- Baladeva Prabhu is no different from Krsna.
- Baladeva Prabhu teaches how to serve Krsna, and with what mood. He serves Krsna in ten ways: shoes, seat, umbrella, etc.
- For this reason Gurudeva is teaching us, Akanda Guru Tattva.

- Only in the prema stage will we reach God, Baladeva Prabhu shows us the path.
- Only through service to the Guru is it possible to enter Bhakti. The only way to serve is to surrender to Sri Guru, which is why Guru-seva is so important.
