Difference between atmarama and aptakama: atmarama is the one who is renounced and satisfied within (Shukadeva Gosvami) and aptakama is the one who lives in a family but is renounced (Janaka Maharaja).
When we offer everything to Krishna, we become free from all sins.
The symptom of brahma-jnana is having no attachment to anything, and the heart never melts.
If brahma-jnanis obtain sadhu-sanga (association with the saint), their hearts will be transformed.
Everything transforms when we obtain association with a saintly person.
Our main goal should be: “how to have the desire to hear Harikatha”.
Krishna liberated Putana because of His vow made as Vamana Deva.
Even with namabhasa we can attain Vaikuntha. With suddha-nama we attain Goloka Vrndavana. Suddha-nama is higher than any pious activity.
