– The Holy Names are cintamani (fulfilling gems); Krishna is rasa-vigraha (the embodiment of rasa) and the reservoir of ananda (bliss); He is complete.
– Remember that the Mahamantra is composed of sixteen names.
– Sadhana and bhajana are not the same thing. Sadhana ranges from sraddha (faith) to asakti (attachment).
– After sadhana-bhakti—the function of which is to cleanse the heart of anarthas (unwanted elements)—comes bhava-bhakti and rati (spiritual affection).
– Verse defining bhava: śuddha-sattva-viśeṣātmā… (CC Madhya-lila 23.5).
– The heart is purified through the removal of anarthas: avidya (ignorance), papa (sins), lust, anger, and envy.
– Association with a saint facilitates receiving at least one drop of the mood of the Vrajavasis so that prema may arise in our hearts.
– On the platform of sandhini, samvit and hladini manifest, and then one of the five rasas unfolds.
– The first two “leaves” (effects) of bhakti that manifest during the sadhana-bhakti stage: klesa-ghni and subhada.
– Maya has two functions: covering the soul, and casting the soul—which is pure and transcendental—into the material world.
– Through sadhu-sanga and the chanting of the Holy Names, the soul transcends the gross and subtle bodies and is revealed to the sadhaka.
– The story of Narada Muni.
– The next two leaves of bhakti manifest during the bhava-bhakti stage: moksa-laghutakrit and sudurlabha.
– Devotees do not desire the five types of liberation: salokya, sarsti, sarupya, samipya, and sayujya (which must be totally rejected).
– After the stage of bhava comes prema. Details regarding the intensification of prema: from sneha to modana-mahabhava, and madhanakiya-mahabhava, which belongs exclusively to Srimati Radharani.
– In Vrndavana, all houses are made of cintamani (wish-fulfilling stones), and the trees are kalpa-vrksa (wish-fulfilling trees). When you go there, you will see!
– Abandon bad activities, practice sadhana, and Krsna will grant everything. Do not forget Krsna.
