| The devotee should gradually increase the culture of devotional service by constant hearing of the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These pastimes are like ornamental decorations on the ears of devotees. By rendering devotional service and transcending the material qualities, one can easily be fixed in transcendence in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Prithu Maharaja's Meeting with the Four Kumaras |
| SB 4.22.25 |
| O Lord of the universe, You are the actual teacher of the science of devotional service. We are satisfied that Your Lordship is the ultimate goal of our life, and we pray that You will be satisfied with us. That is our benediction. We do not desire anything other than Your full satisfaction. The Activities of the Pracetas |
| SB 4.30.30 |
| Dear Lord, we shall therefore pray for Your benediction because You are the Supreme, beyond all transcendence, and because there is no end to Your opulences. Consequently, You are celebrated by the name Ananta. The Activities of the Pracetas |
| SB 4.30.31 |
| What, then, is the ultimate truth? The answer is that nondual knowledge is the ultimate truth. It is devoid of the contamination of material qualities. It gives us liberation. It is the one without a second, all-pervading and beyond imagination. The first realization of that knowledge is Brahman. Then ParamÄtmÄ, the Supersoul, is realized by the yogÄ«s who try to see Him without grievance. This is the second stage of realization. Finally, full realization of the same supreme knowledge is realized in the Supreme Person. All learned scholars describe the Supreme Person as VÄsudeva, the cause of Brahman, ParamÄtmÄ and others.

| Before the creation of this cosmic manifestation, I alone existed with My specific spiritual potencies. Consciousness was then unmanifested, just as one’s consciousness is unmanifested during the time of sleep. The Hamsa-guhya Prayers |
| SB 6.4.47 |
| [NÄrada Muni had said that there is a house made of twenty-five elements. The HaryaÅ›vas understood this analogy.] The Supreme Lord is the reservoir of the twenty-five elements, and as the Supreme Being, the conductor of cause and effect, He causes their manifestation. If one engages in temporary fruitive activities, not knowing that Supreme Person, what benefit will he derive? Narada Muni Cursed by Prajapati Daksha |
| SB 6.5.17 |
| All living entities, moving and nonmoving, are My expansions and are separate from Me. I am the Supersoul of all living beings, who exist because I manifest them. I am the form of the transcendental vibrations like oá¹kÄra and Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare RÄma, and I am the Supreme Absolute Truth. These two forms of Mine — namely, the transcendental sound and the eternally blissful spiritual form of the Deity, are My eternal forms; they are not material. King Citraketu Meets the Supreme Lord |
| SB 6.16.51 |
| My dear King, in a sacred and holy place of pilgrimage one should select a place in which to perform yoga. The place must be level and not too high or low. There one should sit very comfortably, being steady and equipoised, keeping his body straight, and thus begin chanting the Vedic praṇava. Instructions for Civilized Human Beings |
| SB 7.15.31 |
| The Supreme Personality of Godhead, VÄsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, is extremely difficult to understand for unintelligent men who accept Him as impersonal or void, which He is not. The Lord is therefore understood and sung about by pure devotees. The Dynasty of Amsuman |
| SB 9.9.49 |
| The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, the Supersoul in the hearts of all living entities, descended in His original form as a human being in the dynasty or family of Yadu. Yadu had four sons, named Sahasrajit, Kroá¹£á¹Ä, Nala and Ripu. Of these four, the eldest, Sahasrajit, had a son named Åšatajit, who had three sons, named MahÄhaya, Reṇuhaya and Haihaya. The Dynasties of the Sons of Yayati |

| Nondevotees, however, cannot realize You in Your full personal feature. Nevertheless, it may be possible for them to realize Your expansion as the impersonal Supreme by cultivating direct perception of the Self within the heart. But they can do this only by purifying their mind and senses of all conceptions of material distinctions and all attachment to material sense objects. Only in this way will Your impersonal feature manifest itself to them. Brahma's Prayers to Lord Krishna |
| SB 10.14.6 |
| King Nimi inquired: Please explain to me the transcendental situation of the Supreme Lord, NÄrÄyaṇa, who is Himself the Absolute Truth and the Supersoul of everyone. You can explain this to me, because you are all most expert in transcendental knowledge. Liberation from the Illusory Energy |
| SB 11.3.34 |
| My dear Uddhava, I am the Supreme Lord of all worlds, and I create and destroy this universe, being its ultimate cause. I am thus the Absolute Truth, and one who worships Me with unfailing devotional service comes to Me. Description of Varnasrama-dharma |
