- 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
- According to Sridhara Svami, the material conception of success (moksa, or liberation) is desired by those in material existence. Devotees, however, not being situated in material existence, have no desire for liberation
- Actual self-realization means becoming a pure devotee of the Lord. The existence of a devotee implies the function of devotion and the object of devotion
- After reaching Satyaloka, the devotee is specifically able to be incorporated fearlessly by the subtle body in an identity similar to that of the gross body, and one after another he gradually attains stages of existence
T
- The fact is that devotees who are always engaged in devotional service in transcendental love are rewarded 100s & 1,000s of times more than the demons by being elevated to the spiritual planets, where they remain with God in eternal, blissful existence
- The Krsna conscious person can go even to hell and still be happy. Therefore Prahlada Maharaja said, naivodvije para duratyaya-vaitaranyah: "O best of the great personalities, I am not at all afraid of material existence"
- The Lord says that a devotee always exists in His heart, and He also exists always in the heart of the devotee
- The sun fails to rob the pure devotee of his duration of life, inasmuch as he is constantly busy in the devotional service of the Lord, purifying his existence
- They (demigods and many devotees) do so at a risk of falling down to the lower status of existence, and this makes the Lord dissatisfied with them
W
- When a devotee completely forgets his bodily existence, he should be understood to be liberated. He is no longer encaged in the body
- When eternally existing love of Godhead transforms into parental love and is mixed with corresponding emotions, that stage of spiritual existence is described by learned devotees as vatsalya-bhakti-rasa - Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 3.4.1
- Without being engaged in the struggle for material existence the devotee can finish the remaining purification of his existence and thus immediately, after relinquishing the present body, go back home, back to Godhead. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
