A
- A bhakta has no desire. Sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170). He is purified and free from material desires
- A devotee purified by devotional service is always in the transcendental position above the mundane qualities
- A devotee who has purified his existence through devotional service sees only Krsna in every step of life. This is also explained in the next verse (CC Madhya 8.274), which is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam - SB 11.2.45
- A pure devotee always engages in pure service (anukulyena krsnanusilanam bhaktir uttama (CC Madhya 19.167)). Taking birth in the upper planetary system as a demigod is a chance to become a further purified devotee and go back home, back to Godhead
- A Vaisnava is immediately purified, provided he follows the rules and regulations of his bona fide spiritual master
- According to them (mayavadis), when bhagavatas (devotees) are purified by philosophical speculation, they will come to the real point of liberation. Those who speculate in this way regarding devotional service are called kutarkikas (false logicians)
I
- If an enemy (suduracarah) always thinks of Krsna, he also becomes a purified devotee
- In spite of being materially ambitious, such devotees, by rendering transcendental service, are gradually purified of desires for material enjoyment, and they come to desire the pleasure of devotional service
- In this way one can avoid seeing the pure devotee from a material point of view, and thus one can gradually become a purified devotee himself
