- There is no need to eradicate politics, economics, sociology, etc., which are mundane to the mundaners

- There is no need to seek properly qualified candidates for discharging devotional service to the Lord
- There is no need to serve the demigods, who are just like the hands and legs of the Supreme Lord. When the Supreme Lord is served, the hands and legs of the Supreme Lord are automatically served. There is no need of separate service
- There is no need to speculate, "What is God? Where is God?" Why foolishly go on searching? Here is God - Krsna
- There is no need to sweep the stone in Vaikuntha, for there is hardly any dust on it, but still, in order to satisfy the Lord, the ladies there always engage in dusting the marble walls. Why?
- There is no need to turn from Hindu to Mohammedan to Christian or some other faith and thus become a renegade and not follow the principles of religion. The Bhagavatam religion urges following the principles of religion

- There is no need to worship demigods of whatsoever category if one is serious about going back to Godhead

- There was no need to continue their (Devaki's and Vasudeva's) ill feeling toward Kamsa. Thus they accepted Kamsa's words

- They (atheists) say that actually there is no need to accept God for this purpose, for if one follows the principles of morality and honesty, that is sufficient

- When a bee approaches the parijata tree, it gets unlimited supplies of honey. There is no need to go to another tree
- When a devotee is actually engaged in the service of the lotus feet of the Lord, his engagement in itself is so perfect that there is no need to ask for further benediction
- When a person takes to Krsna consciousness, there is no need to care for material necessities

- When one enters into a spontaneous loving affair with Krsna, there is no need to follow the Vedic rules and regulations
- When the pure devotees assemble to chant, hear and talk about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the place where they assemble becomes Vaikuntha. For the devotee there is no need to pray to the Lord for transferal to the Vaikuntha world
- When the senses are purified by meditation, there is no need to sit in a particular place and try to meditate upon the form of the Lord. One becomes so habituated that he automatically engages in the personal service of the Lord
