- A relationship with the lotus feet of the Lord can even enhance the importance of Lord Siva, what to speak of other, ordinary living entities
- A self-surrendered devotee of the Lord is called narayana-parayana. Such a person is never afraid of any place or person, not even of death. For him nothing is as important as the Supreme Lord, and thus he gives equal importance to heaven and hell

B
- Because the Vaisnava-sampradaya does not give very much importance to Vedanta-sutra - because the explanation is there, they are reading actually Vedanta-sutra - people misunderstand that the Vedantist, followers of Vedanta, is the Sankara-sampradaya
- Because there is no training of brahminical culture how to become truthful. People think that "What is wrong, I shall speak untruth?" So the value of truthfulness will decrease & the importance of religion will decrease. This is the symptoms of Kali-yuga

- Bhagavata says the small animal may eulogize the big animal. That does not mean the big animal is of any importance. He is animal, that's all
- By misuse of one's independence one at once becomes a victim of Maya and thus he loses all importance in Krishna Consciousness. So it is my definite opinion that his lecture anywhere now will bear no spiritual sequence. He must rectify his mistake

C
D

- His (the atheist Kapila's) conceptions of so-called conditioned and liberated life are materialistic, and he refuses to accept the importance of immortal time. All such statements are against the principles of the Vedanta-sutra

- If one does not enter the devotional service of the Lord but artificially considers himself Brahman or Narayana, not perfectly understanding that the soul and body are different, one certainly falls down. Such a person again gives importance to the body

O
