- The Guru’s mercy purifies the sadhaka’s heart.
- Like the cakora birds that only taste the rays of the moon, the devotees only taste the divine nectar.
- Two types of bhakti: vaidhi-bhakti and raganuga-bhakti.
- In vaidhi-bhakti, there is no natural love for Guru and Krsna, such practitioners only follow the rules and regulations of the scriptures.
- Conditioned souls are contaminated by laziness, sleep and lust, thinking it is the body, they suffer from anxiety and fear.
- Those who follow raganuga-bhakti serve spontaneously with love and affection.
- Ragatmika-jana are the eternal servants of Krsna, they show two symptoms: their mood depends on rasa and they are always absorbed in that mood.
- The jiva who does sadhana/bhajana, and serves Krsna under the instruction of the ragatmika-jana, is called raganuga.
- Whoever serves under the instruction of Rupa Gosvami is rupanuga. Raghunatha Dasa prays to obtain service to Radharani, under the guidance of Rupa Manjari.
- The vrajavasis are sambhandhatmikas, and the gopis are kamatmikas.
- The prema in the hearts of the gopis is visudha-prema, totally pure. For them, service to Krsna is the main thing, and the relationship is secondary.
- In vatsalya and sakhya, the relationship with Krsna is the main thing, then service.
