- There are always two present, and two means a relationship. We should therefore understand our relationship with the Supreme, with Para-brahman. Understanding that relationship is brahma-siddhaye
- There are many things like that. So you should try to understand it fully. Why should you understand it haphazardly? You must try to understand fully

- There is a distinct difference between the material and spiritual senses. And one should understand it without denying the spiritual senses because of a material conception

- There is no need for economic development; everything is provided. Therefore one should understand that everything belongs to Krsna, and with this idea, one may take prasada
- There is Ramayana, there is Mahabharata, immense literature, full of Vedic literature. So one should try to understand this literature. They are meant for the human being
- These (Lord Jesus Christ, Thakura Haridasa and Prahlada Maharaja) are some examples of renowned devotees of the Lord, and we should simply try to understand how dear such devotees are to Him

- This (CC Madhya 9.195) is the process of spiritual understanding. Acintya khalu ye bhava na tams tarkena yojayet - We should not try to understand things beyond our material conception by argument and counterargument
- Those who are actually followers of Vedas, they should understand that there is no difference between the Lord and His words - absolute. We read Bhagavad-gita, the words of Krsna. Then how we can change the meaning of Gita when it is spoken by Lord?

V
- Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah (BG 15.15). By studying the Vedic literature, one should understand Krsna. As confirmed here (in SB 8.3.15), sarvagamamnaya-maharnavaya. He is the ocean, and all Vedic knowledge flows toward Him

- We have to learn from the proper person about Krsna's activities. We should not immediately try to understand Krsna's dealings with the gopis, for they are very confidential

- We should understand from the authority, as Krsna says, that idam sariram ksetram: "It (body) is a field. It is a concession." Field is exactly the term. "Field of work," as we say generally, - in the field of activities
- We should understand fully that we are simply qualitatively one with God, but quantitatively, God is great and we are very minute particle. This is self-realization. Therefore part and parcel. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah
- We should understand that Bhagavad-gita is meant for a person who is a devotee and dear to Krsna, not for the demons, who are against Krsna. The demons are trying to kill Krsna

- We should understand that whenever the Supreme Personality of Godhead is present, He is present with all His paraphernalia, including His name, form, associates and servants
- We should understand the difference between spiritual and material. That which is material has no living symptoms, and that which is spiritual has all living symptoms

- We should understand whatever we see to be the energy of the Supreme Lord and should not differentiate between the Lord and His arca form made from clay, metal, wood or paint
- We simply want that people should understand God, and love him also, because human life is meant for this purpose. So if a man loves God more than anything else, he is the perfect man

- When this verse (SB 7.4.36) says vasudeve bhagavati, one should understand that Prahlada Maharaja's attachment for Nrsimhadeva was attachment for Krsna, Vasudeva, the son of Vasudeva. Prahlada Maharaja is described as a great mahatma
- When Visnu expands in His all-pervading aspect, we should understand Him to be the nirakara-nirvisesa-brahmajyoti
- When we get attachment simply for hearing Krsna, then you should understand that you have become liberated. These are the test. Everyone can get this position. Because there is process. If you follow the process, then you come to the real stage

- You should understand and see from the activities of Krsna whether He is or is not Bhagavan. It requires a good brain to understand
