- This is necessary to attract the attention of fools, but a saintly person should not misuse such power for personal sense gratification like false saints who declare themselves to be God
- This is the process (of devotional service) descending from time immemorial. Learning from the life of Ajamila, we should vow with determination to do what is necessary to follow this path
