A

A devotee cannot accept that Lord Visnu has material qualifications
A devotee of Lord Visnu is a demigod, whereas an asura or Yaksa is just the opposite
A devotee undoubtedly worships the Lord with rapt attention
A devotee, of course, by his knowledge and tapasya, becomes free from fear and anger and becomes a pure devotee. Similarly, an enemy, although thinking of Krsna inimically, thinks of Him constantly and also becomes purified
A good example in this regard (the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be partial; He is always equal to everyone) is that an electrician connects both a heater and a cooler to the same electrical energy
A living entity who desires sayujya-mukti remains in Krsna's Brahman effulgence, which is dependent on Krsna's body (brahmano hi pratisthaham). Such an impersonalist who takes shelter of the Brahman effulgence must surely fall down
A material body is manufactured by the external energy according to the direction of the SPG. The conditioned soul, being seated on this machine, wanders throughout the universe, and because of his bodily conception of life he only suffers
A pure devotee always thinks himself more deficient than everyone else. If a devotee approaches Srimati Radharani to offer some service to Krsna, even Srimati Radharani thinks that the devotee is greater than She
A small skin and the vast Atlantic Ocean both contain water, and by seeing the quantity of water in a container one can understand the size of the container
A teacher instructs the student if the student is capable of taking more and more instructions. Otherwise, in spite of being instructed by the teacher, the student cannot make strides in his understanding. This has nothing to do with partiality
According to one's attitude, Krsna becomes one's direct adviser, or Krsna becomes unknown
According to one's attitude, Krsna becomes one's direct adviser, or Krsna becomes unknown. This is not Krsna's partiality; it is His response to one's ability to understand Him
According to one's receptiveness - whether one be a devata, asura, Yaksa or Raksasa - Krsna's quality is proportionately exhibited
Acyuta refers to the infallible Lord Visnu, whose heart is always infallible. Because the devotees are attached to the infallible, they are called acyutatma
All the devotees of Lord Krsna are called acyutatma because they follow in the footsteps of Prahlada Maharaja
Although an enemy thinks of Krsna unfavorably, the Lord is unaffected by such antidevotional service
Although He (the Lord) is sometimes seen to punish someone, this is exactly like a father's punishing his child for the child's welfare
Although material nature is conducted by the three qualities - sattva-guna, rajo-guna and tamo-guna - nature is not independent
Although Narada Muni wanders in the three worlds, he has exalted devotion for Narayana
Although situated in everyone's body, He (Krsna) has no bodily conception of life. He is always free from such conceptions, and thus He cannot be affected by anything in relation to the material body of the jiva
Although the Gita says sri-bhagavan uvaca, indicating that Krsna spoke, they (people) cannot understand Krsna. This is due to their misfortune or incapability, which is caused by rajo-guna and tamo-guna, the modes of passion and ignorance
Although the gopis at Vrndavana expressed their lusty desires in relationship with a paramour (parakiya-rasa), they actually had no lusty desires
Although the Lord acts within time, whether sattva-guna, rajo-guna or tamo-guna is prominent, one should not think that the Lord is under time's control. Time is within His control, for He creates time to act in a certain way
Although the Lord has to execute His will properly, He is equipoised in all circumstances. He is equally disposed toward everyone
An advanced devotee like Arjuna understands Him (Krsna) and glorifies Him, saying, param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan: (BG 10.12) You are the Supreme Brahman, the supreme abode and purifier
An asura is not a devotee of Lord Visnu; instead, for his sense gratification he is a devotee of the demigods, bhutas, pretas and so on. Thus one can judge who is a devata, who is a Raksasa and who is an asura by how they conduct their activities
Any pastime conducted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is an arrangement by yogamaya, not mahamaya
Anything done by those who have taken the attitude of enemies will be baffled
As a regulative principle one should not be unfavorable toward the Lord but always favorably inclined toward Him
As Bhagavad-gita informs us, one can understand how one is saturated with sattva-guna, rajo-guna or tamo-guna
As for Hiranyakasipu, although he was extremely inimical toward the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he always thought of his son, who was a great devotee. Therefore by the grace of his son, Prahlada Maharaja, Hiranyakasipu was also delivered by SPG
As one should not try to be killed by embracing an enemy, a tiger or a snake, one should not blaspheme the Supreme Personality of Godhead and become His enemy in order to be put into hellish life
As soon as one has a material body he has four deficiencies, but since Krsna does not possess a material body, He has no deficiencies. He is always spiritually conscious and blissful
