- The Pancaratra and Vedanta-sutra express the same opinions. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore confirms that there is no difference in opinion between the two

- The powerful name, holy name, is as good as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no difference. Absolute
- The pure devotee never tries to see the Lord by mental speculation, but by following in the footsteps of the acaryas. There is no difference of conclusions amongst the Vaisnava acaryas regarding the Lord and the devotees
- The Rama and Krsna, there is no difference, but why in the sastra it is said, kirtanad eva krsnasya? So Hare Krsna is quite to the rulings of the sastra. There is no discrepancies, although we have no objection. Either you chant Hare Krsna or Hare Rama
- The representative of the Supreme Godhead, carries the message throughout the world. Therefore, on the absolute platform, there is no difference between the spiritual master and the Supreme Personality of Godhead

- The Vedas aim at the understanding of the Lord, and the Lord is the Vedas personified. Devaki is compared to the meaningful Vedas and the Lord to their purpose personified
- The Vedas are full of transcendental knowledge and spiritual values, and thus Devaki, the mother of Lord Krsna, conceived the Lord in her womb as the personified meaning of the Vedas. There is no difference between the Vedas and the Lord

- There is no difference between chanting of Hare Krsna mantra and meeting Krsna eye to eye, face to face. There is no difference. Simply one has to realize

- There is no difference between hearing Bhagavad-gita directly from the Supreme Lord and following a personality like Arjuna, who formerly heard Bhagavad-gita directly from the Lord

- There is no difference between Krsna's body and Krsna Himself. He is entirely self, entirely spirit. We, on the other hand, have a body that is different from ourselves

- There is no difference between Krsna's form and Krsna. Krsna's hands and Krsna's legs are nondifferent
- There is no difference between Krsna's inner self and outward body. Krsna is purna, the complete whole. There is no distinction between His body and soul as there is between ours
- There is no difference between Krsna's within and without. And one who has no sense of this understanding is the greatest fool in trying to understand Bhagavad-gita. BG 1972 purports

- There is no difference between meditating on the eternal forms of Radha-Krsna and chanting the maha-mantra, Hare Krsna. As for Krsna's meditation, He had no alternative but to meditate on Himself

- There is no difference between the arca-vigraha and the original person

- There is no difference between the body and soul of the Supreme Lord Visnu, although in the material world there is always a difference between the body and the soul

- There is no difference between the holy name of the Lord and the Lord Himself
- There is no difference between the huge post office building and that small box, because it is authorized. Similarly, the difference between idol worship and Deity worship is like that. Unless authorized process is accepted, it is idol worship

- There is no difference between the innumerable Supersouls present in the innumerable hearts of living entities. BG 1972 purports

- There is no difference between the Lord and sound vibration coming from Him, even though He is not personally present

- There is no difference between the name, quality, form, pastimes, entourage and paraphernalia of Lord Krsna and Lord Krsna Himself. That is the absolute nature of the Absolute Truth

- There is no difference between the sound representation of the Lord and the Lord Himself. One can derive the same benefit from the Bhagavad-gita as Arjuna did in the personal presence of the Lord

- There is no difference between the spiritual positions of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu, or Krsna and Balarama. All of Them are but different manifestations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- There is no difference between the Supreme Lord and His body, but the conditioned soul, although eternal, is different from his body

- There is no difference between the thumblike Visnu in the womb of Uttara and the full-fledged Narayana in the Vaikuntha-dhama, the kingdom of Godhead

- There is no difference between them (the Personality of Godhead and the members of the Panca-tattva) because they are situated on the absolute platform, but they manifest different spiritual varieties as a challenge to the impersonalists

- There is no difference of opinion between the modern devotee and the old devotee. A devotee is devotee, as there is no difference between modern gold or old gold

- There is no essential difference between a fully surrendered soul and a person in the renounced order of life. The only difference is that a fully surrendered soul is completely dependent upon Krsna

- They know that there is no difference between the incarnation and the source of all incarnations. Previously Lord Krsna was regarded in the light of different principles by different people
- This (the enjoyment in the Lord is real but in the living entity it is not) difference in consciousness is the distinction of the two identities, namely the Lord and the living being. Otherwise there is no difference between the Lord and the living being
- This movement is to create sadhus. You have to cooperate. This incarnation of Krsna, Krsna and nama, Krsna's name, is the same: "There is no difference between Krsna's name and Krsna." Krsna has already come by this Krsna consciousness movement
- This process, in the highest degree, is recommended here in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, with clear perception of ideal perfection, although basically there is no difference between the process of Buddhists, Sankarites and Vaisnavites

- Venkata Bhatta continued, "According to transcendental realization, there is no difference between the forms of Narayana and Krsna"
- Vidura left home in order to devote himself completely to the service of the Lord, but the Pandavas and the Yadavas were always rapt in the thought of Lord Krsna. Thus there is no difference in their pure devotional qualities
