SB Canto 4
- teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ
- bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam
- dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ
- yena mām upayānti te
"To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me." Although the Supersoul is in everyone's heart (īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati [Bg. 18.61]), He talks only to the pure devotees who constantly engage in His service. In Caitanya-bhāgavata (Antya 3.45) it is said:
- tāhāre se bali vidyā, mantra, adhyayana
- kṛṣṇa-pāda-padme ye karaye sthira mana
"One who has fixed his mind on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa is to be understood as having the best education and as having studied all the Vedas." There are also other appropriate quotes in Caitanya-bhāgavata:
- sei se vidyāra phala jāniha niścaya
- kṛṣṇa-pāda-padme yadi citta-vṛtti raya
"The perfect result of an education is the fixing of one's mind on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa." (Ādi 13.178)
- 'dig-vijaya kariba,'—vidyāra kārya nahe
- īśvare bhajile, sei vidyā 'satya' kahe
"Conquering the world by means of material education is not desirable. If one engages himself in devotional service, his education is perfected." (Ādi 13.173)
- paḍe kene loka—kṛṣṇa-bhakti jānibāre
- se yadi nahila, tabe vidyāya ki kare
"The purpose of education is to understand Kṛṣṇa and His devotional service. If one does not do so, then education is false." (Ādi 12.49)
- tāhāre se bali dharma, karma sadācāra
- īśvare se prīti janme sammata sabāra
