- Krsna says that 'You just become My devotee. You just think of Me.' "worship Me," mam namaskuru, "offer obeisances unto Me. If you follow this principle, then," mam evaisyasi, "you come to Me." So why not sacrifice one life for Krsna consciousness?

- Krsna takes always the bright side. Putana, although she came to cheat Krsna, but how Krsna will cheat? Krsna thought that "I have sucked her breast, so she is My mother. She should go to the same place where Yasodamayi is going." This is Krsna
- Krsna thought, "Sudama has not come asking anything from Me; being obliged by the request of his wife, he has come to see Me just to please her."
- Krsna took the bright side. "This demoniac woman came to kill Me," He thought, "but somehow or other I have sucked her breast milk, so she is My mother." Thus Putana attained the position of Krsna's mother in the spiritual world

O

- One can directly come to Krsna, but they do not want. So indirectly and directly, everyone is seeking Krsna
- One should not think that he will do well to wait for the next life to attain Krsna consciousness. We should try to fulfill the mission of Krsna consciousness in this life. Krsna promises us that one who becomes His devotee will come to Him without fail
