- Sloka that gives evidence that Sri Krsna is the Original Personality of God: ete cāṁśa-kalāḥ puṁsaḥ kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam indrāri-vyākulaṁ lokaṁ mṛḍayanti yuge yuge (SB 1.3.28).
- Why do many people worship the demigods? Because the jivas have many desires in their hearts.
- Krsna says that the conditioned souls do not know who God is, and they surrender to the demigods.
- Four types of devotees who worship Krsna: catur-vidha bhajante mam… (BG 7.16).
- Arto (sufferers/Gagendra); arto-jijnasu (inquisitive mood/Saunaka Rsi); artharth (those who desire money/Druva Maharaja); jnani (seekers of knowledge).
- Sadhu-sanga of a pure devotee is very rare, as there are different types of sadhus.
- Many saints manifest themselves as birds to see Krsna in His lilas.
- Guru krpa hi eva kevalam: by the mercy of Gurudeva everything manifests in our hearts.
- Without the mercy of Guru, Bhakti Devi does not manifest in our hearts.
- Krsna seva vasana is the desire to serve Krsna, that is what Gurudeva gives us!
- Guru gives us the seed of bhakti through diksa-mantras!
- Have great faith in the diksa-mantras you have received, and be very zealous and firm in these words: “mad-guru jagad-guru mannatha jagannatha”.
- Without this faith, even living millions of lives serving the Lord, the perfection of the spiritual goal is not achieved.
- Have great respect for your spiritual master!
