- A common man in this material world has a contaminated heart. He must therefore first purify his heart to come to the transcendental position. But Jagannatha Misra and Sacimata were not a common man and woman with contaminated hearts
- After three days, and He (Caitanya) accepted food there (the house of Advaita Prabhu at Santipura). As long as the Lord remained there, He saw His mother, Sacidevi, and every night executed congregational chanting with all the devotees
- All the devotees informed Lord Caitanya of Sacimata's decision. Hearing it, the Lord became very pleased
- As mother Saci constantly saw the face of her son and fed Him (Caitanya), her own happiness increased and was indeed complete
B
- Because mother Saci was feeling separation from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, she thought she was dreaming that her son had come to her. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, however, wanted to inform her that actually it was not a dream
- By allowing her son (Caitanya) to go as a sannyasi and search for Krsna, Sacimata instructs all mothers of the world. She indicates that all sons should become real devotees of Krsna and should not stay at home under the care of an affectionate mother
- By the will of Lord Caitanya, Sacidevi invited Nityananda to take prasadam at her house. Thus Visvambhara (Lord Caitanya) and Nityananda were eating together, & Sacidevi realized that They were none other than Krsna and Balarama. Seeing this, she fainted
F
- Frequently the Lord would tumble to the ground. Seeing this, mother Saci would cry
- From the Brahma-yamala-tantra: Sometimes I (Caitanya) personally appear on the surface of the world in the garb of a devotee. Specifically, I appear as the son of Saci in Kali-yuga to start the sankirtana movement
- From the Vayu Purana: kalau sankirtanarambhe bhavisyami saci-sutah. In the Age of Kali when the sankirtana movement is inaugurated, I (Caitanya) shall descend as the son of Saci-devi
H
- He (Lord Caitanya) said (when He saw His mother Sacidevi touch Advaita Acarya's lotus feet) - Now My mother’s offense at the lotus feet of Advaita Acarya has been rectified, and she may have love of Krsna without difficulty
- Hearing the discourse on absolute knowledge, His (Lord Caitanya's) mother was very much astonished and forced Him to take a bath
I
- In His (Caitanya's) whole life these (when Sacimata, was searching for something, Caitanya jokingly said, "Maybe your daughter-in-law has taken it.") are the only joking words we find in relation to women (with His wife). He was very strict
- In the philosophical discourse between the mother (Sacimata) and the son (Caitanya), when the son said that everything is one, the mother replied: If everything is one, why do people in general not eat dirt but eat the food grains produced from the dirt?
- It is a prejudice among smarta-brahmanas that a widow must observe fasting on Ekadasi but a woman who is sa-dhava - who has her husband - should not. It appears that before Lord Caitanya’s request, Sacimata, being sa-dhava, was not observing Ekadasi
- It is said that he (Subhananda) ate the foam that came out of the mouth of the Lord while He danced before the Ratha-yatra car. Isana was the personal servant of Srimati Sacidevi, who showered her great mercy upon him. He was also very dear to Caitanya
- It is to be concluded that Jagannatha Misra and Sacimata are nitya-siddhas, ever-pure associates of the Lord. Their hearts are always uncontaminated, and therefore they never forget the Supreme Personality of Godhead
L
- Lord Caitanya induced His mother (Sacidevi) to take the dust of Advaita Acarya’s lotus feet, and thus her vaisnava-aparadha was nullified
- Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked her (mother Saci) to cook for Him because He was very hungry, not having taken anything for three days. His mother immediately agreed, and forgetting everything else

- One day mother Saci went to catch her son, wanting to rebuke Him, but He fled from the spot
- One night Sacidevi dreamt that the Deities in her house, Krsna and Balarama, had taken the forms of Caitanya and Nityananda and were fighting one another, as children do, to eat the naivedya, or offering to the Deities
- Out of ten children, only Caitanya Mahaprabhu was the living child of Sacima. So naturally she was very, very affection to his son, and Visnupriya, wife, very, very affectionate, beautiful, young - but He gave up. This is called vairagya-vidya
S
- Sacimata, although the mother of Nimai Pandita, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, considered all the facts and decided to allow her son to go out and search for Krsna
- She (mother Saci) cooked for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu during all the days she was at the house of Sri Advaita Prabhu. Then, after a few days, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu requested His mother’s permission to go to Jagannatha Puri
- She (Mother Saci) directly had as her child Lord Visnu, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and she served Him from the day of His appearance. This is the position of nitya-siddha associates
- She (Sacimata) made some arrangements in order that she might get news of all the activities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Sri Sacimata offered food at home to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu although He was far away in Jagannatha Puri, and when she opened her eyes after offering the food, she saw that it had actually been eaten by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

- The activities of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the son of Mother Saci, are certainly most wonderful
- The Lord (Caitanya) said to his mother: Everything in relationship with Visnu is to be considered an expansion of Visnu’s energy. Visnu, the Supersoul, is eternal and uncontaminated. How then may these pots be considered pure or impure?
- This body was raised by you, and it comes from you. I cannot repay this debt even in millions of births
