- According to Vedic principles, society is divided into four categories - brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra. After dividing society in this way, it is the king's duty to see that everyone executes Vedic principles according to his caste

- If the whole creation is one - that is, nothing but the Supreme Lord, or Visnu - then why do the expert transcendentalists make such categories? Why do learned and expert scholars distinguish between matter and spirit

- It is authoritative statement of Krsna. Na mam duskrtino mudhah. So these classes of men do not surrender to Krsna. So anyone who has not surrendered to Krsna, he comes within these categories. This is a plain description if we believe in BG. All rascals

- Lord Visnu cannot be placed within the category of the demigods

- Mostly the market literatures which attract men of the crow's categories are literatures containing refused remnants of sensuous topics. They are generally known as mundane talks in relation with the gross body and subtle mind
N
- Narottama dasa Thakura therefore says, karma-kanda, jnana-kanda, kevala visera bhanda. Thus Narottama dasa Thakura compares the paths of karma-kanda and jnana-kanda to pots of poison. Liquor and poison are in the same category

- Nityananda Prabhu wanted to show an example that "I shall deliver these two brothers. Never mind they are so fallen." That is called krpa-siddha. So we should always remember there are three categories: nitya-siddha, sadhana-siddha and krpa-siddha

- One must adopt this simple way of devotional life in order to attain the highest perfection available in any category of the human form of life in any part of the world
- One should never classify the visnu-tattvas, or the plenary portions of Narayana, the Personality of Godhead, in the same categories with the parts and parcels. If anyone does so he becomes at once an offender

- One should not think that Lord Visnu is in the same category with Lord Brahma and Siva. The sastras forbid us to think in this way

R

- Those who wish to merge into the impersonal Brahman are also divided into three categories - those desiring to be liberated, those already liberated and those who have realized Brahman
