- Bhakti in the mood of opulence and sweetness, the difference between the devotees of Vaikuntha and Vrndavana.
- Madhurya means sweetness, and, Kadambini means a beautiful rain cloud about to pour, whose refreshing manifestation in the sky enchants everyone with its misty colors due to the rays of the Sun.
- Visvanatha Cakravarti Pada begins this book by glorifying Caitanya Mahaprabhu because only He grants krsna-prema.
- Mahaprabhu grants krsna-prema to everyone, without discriminating who is or is not qualified.
- Just as rain cannot touch the desert floor, conditioned souls cannot find relief from the miseries of Maya. Nevertheless, Mahaprabhu bestows the all-relieving mercy of prema without hindrance.
- Vraja-prema is rare even for powerful people like Siva, Brahma and Narada.
- In addition to prema, Mahaprabhu bestows the pot for receiving. The pot is humility. It makes the devotee humble.
- Sloka that highlights humility: tṛṇād api su-nīcena… (Siksastaka 3).
- Mahaprabhu gives prema even to those who do not want it, just as a mother gives food to a baby who does not want to eat.
- A story that represents the greatness of motherly love even in the face of a child’s cruelty.
- Motherly love is the highest in the material world; Lover’s love is the highest in the spiritual world.
- Radha’s love is unique and incomparable!
