- Krsna is both brahmajyoti and localized Paramatma, but in brahmajyoti or Paramatma there is no Krsna or sweet relations with Krsna

- Krsna is the origin of everything. Therefore when a person is fully Krsna conscious it is to be understood that his relationship with Krsna has been fully confirmed

- Krsna says that anyone can understand Himself, anyone can understand Krsna and the relationship, provided the darkness of ignorance is taken away. That is required. That is done by Krsna personally. For whom? Tesam evanukampartham

- Krsna's friends, the cowherd boys, did not consider Him the Supreme Lord either. The gopis even used to chastise Krsna. If a devotee can have such a relationship with Krsna, why should he want to become one with God
- Krsna's name is also Krsna. Krsna's fame is also Krsna. Krsna's entourage is also Krsna. Krsna and everything related with Krsna which gives stimulation to love of Krsna are all Krsna, but for our understanding these items can be considered separately
- Krsna, by controlling His mind, has easily forgotten us (gopis). Therefore, don’t speak of Him any more. Let us forget our relationship

- One should constantly engage in topics about that servitor and his loving relationship with Krsna, and one should live in Vrndavana. If one is physically unable to go to Vrndavana, he should mentally live there
- One should not try to establish the relation directly; there must be a via medium which is transparent and competent to lead us to the right path

- She (Krsna's potency) acted as yogamaya with Yasoda, Devaki and other intimate relations of the Lord, and she acted in a different way with Kamsa, Salva and other asuras
- She (Yasoda) has forgotten that it is the Supreme Personality of Godhead who has appeared before her as a little child. This relationship of attachment is very sublime. It requires time to understand

- Such devotees (ever-liberated souls) are related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead in any of five transcendental mellows - namely, neutrality, servitorship, friendship, parenthood and conjugal love
- Sudama was a friend of Krsna. So "I am the servant of Krsna's friend, Sudama dasa." So in this way our relationship with Krsna we always remember. That remembrance is also self-realization process. Sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam - SB 7.5.23
- Suffering and needy men, inquisitive persons or philosophers make temporary connections with the Lord (Krsna) to serve a particular purpose. When the purpose is served, there is no more relation with the Lord

- Svakiya is the relationship with Krsna as a formally married husband, and parakiya is the relationship with Krsna as a paramour
