- A symptom of spiritual talks is that no one feels tired. Thus upon hearing the questions of Vidura, the great sage Maitreya did not feel disgusted but rather felt encouraged to speak at greater length
- Arjuna's putting this (BG 4.4) question before the Lord is simply an attempt by the devotee to defy the atheistic attitude of persons who consider Krsna to be an ordinary human being subject to the modes of material nature. BG 1972 purports
- Arjuna's question to Krsna is very sanguine, as to the perverted nature of the living entities. Although the living entity sometimes does not want to act in sin, he is still forced to act. BG 1972 purports
B
- Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (NOD 1.2.156): "O lotus-eyed one, when will I be able to always chant Your holy name, and being inspired by that chanting, when will I be able to dance on the banks of the Yamuna?"
- By his questions he (Arjuna) is clearing the path of Krsna consciousness for all students who seriously want to understand the mystery of the Bhagavad-gita. BG 1972 purports
L
- Lord Caitanya asked Ramananda Raya questions, and Ramananda replied as if he were the teacher of the Lord. However, in this case Sanatana put questions to the Lord, and the Lord answered them Himself
- Lord Caitanya, answering the questions of Sanatana, repeats the same truth (the instructions of Bhagavad-gita). There is a difference, however
S
- Since Krsna is the authority accepted by all, Arjuna put this question (of BG 4.4) before Him in order that Krsna would describe Himself without being depicted by the demons. BG 1972 purports
- Sukadeva Gosvami said: After renouncing his prosperous home and entering the forest, King Vidura, the great devotee, asked this question of His Grace Maitreya Rsi
T
- This (CC Adi 1.46) is a verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 11.17.27) spoken by Lord Krsna when He was questioned by Uddhava regarding the four social and spiritual orders of society
- Thus they (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya) met time and time again, sitting in a secluded place and jubilantly discussing devotional service by the question-and-answer process
- To clarify this point (it is very difficult for an ordinary man to understand Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead), Arjuna put this (BG 4.4) question before Krsna so that He Himself could speak authoritatively. BG 1972 purports
W
- When he (Sanat-kumara) was questioned by Sankhyayana Rsi, he spoke to him the same message he had heard from Lord Sankarsana. In other words, unless one hears from the proper authority one cannot become a preacher
- When there is a congregation of devotees, their discussions, questions and answers become conclusive to both the speaker and the audience. Thus such a meeting is beneficial for everyone's real happiness
