- Acarya does not accept anything on his own account. Acarya accepts everything on Krsna's account. That is the principle. And because he is representative of Krsna, he is dealing on behalf of Krsna
- Although the dealings between the Lord and His devotee are always very simple and open, there is formality. All these things happen because of the connection between the Lord and the devotee

P
- Pure devotees may deal with the three modes of material nature, but because of their transcendental intelligence in Krsna consciousness, they are not influenced by the material qualities. The spell of material activities does not attract such devotees

S
- Srila Rupa Gosvami warns devotees to not commit such incompatibilities in their writings or in their dealings
- Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura illuminates this fact (Devaki wanted to deal with her eternal son, Krsna, in vatsalya, and therefore she wanted Krsna to withdraw His opulent form of Visnu) very clearly in his explanation of this verse - SB 10.3.31
T
- The dealings between a devotee and the Lord are very simple. The young brahmana said to the Lord - You know everything, but if You do not bear witness, You will be involved in sinful activities
- The four classes of men: God, His devotee, innocent person and envious person, demons. So the person who is promoted to the second stage, he'll deal with these four classes of division differently. Isvara-prema
