1. The spiritual realm is inconceivable, but still, we are to try to understand things according to our capacity, faith, and realization. Above all, we have to accommodate within our minds, that sweetness is sweet, and truth is truth – however strong it may be.
2. We want affinity in intimacy with Gurudeva, and it is he who has the connection with the Centre – with the Substance. If I can maintain a bona fide relationship with Gurudeva, then automatically I shall get Him.
3. Only faith is not treacherous: it will remain with the soul – within – giving hope, prospect and sustenance. Home comfort.
4. Krsna is the Autocrat but He is sweet. And you will also get sweetness, fulfillment and love by following in the footsteps of that Autocrat. Beauty is the Autocrat; Sweetness is the Autocrat; Love is the Autocrat – and that is beyond All-Law.
5. “Om” means a big “Yes”. Whatever you are searching for, it exists. What your inner heart hankers after, that exists and is existing. Whatever apparently you see, you must go to the inner substance – the Super-subject. The Lord of your search is there.
6. Sincere search is necessary for the aspiring devotee so that his Krsna conception may not be only a sham – a hypocritical endeavor. And you will get help in that direction from the real devotees.
7. Sincerely searching for Krsna is the eternal joy in every step of your life.
8. The main conclusion is to keep company with the devotees who have got real faith in Krsna. It is very, very rare in this world to find such devotees.
9. Search your own heart with the help of a proper guide and you will find Krsna there. A proper guide is not a foreign substance to you. Every heart is a temple of the Lord. It is your inner wealth. It is your Home – ‘Back to God, back to Home.’”
10. Through self-giving, I can acquire my fortune, not as a master sitting in my chair.
11. To become a Vaisnava proper is almost impossible. It is only a matter of grace from that level that we can go there: there is nothing we can do from our side. Only with complete surrender to the interest of that place can we hope to be taken there.
12. Krsna is a charmer who can charm by His beauty and by His behavior. He is the only Absolute Autocrat – Affection, Love, Beauty, Harmony and Sweetness is the Autocrat.
13. Guidance must come from those above you. It is very rare, but it is most valuable to us.
14. Happiness can never be produced from mortal things. We are making a transaction with the mortal world, but that cannot bring satisfaction: it can only lose our energy. What we collect on one side, disappears on another. A person should neither accept nor tolerate this sort of a waste of energy as the principle of life.
