• They (Vedas) have simply been developed into different branches, They were originally rendered by great, respectable and learned professors  + (13:49:16, 24 January 2019)

• Another section of the people take this (that the study of the Vedas is a monopoly of the brahmana caste only) as an injustice to members of other castes, who do not happen to take birth in a brahmana family. But both of them are misguided  + (14:03:23, 24 January 2019)
• Persons who are in the modes of passion and ignorance are unable to understand the subject matter of the Vedas  + (05:02:35, 25 January 2019)

• In the Satya-yuga everyone was situated in the mode of goodness. Gradually the mode of goodness declined during the Treta and Dvapara-yugas, and the general mass of people became corrupt  + (05:07:55, 25 January 2019)
• In this age the mode of goodness is almost nil & so for the general mass of people, the kindhearted, Vyasadeva divided the Vedas in various ways so that they may be practically followed by less intelligent persons in the modes of passion and ignorance  + (05:11:23, 25 January 2019)

• The Garbhadhana-samskara is followed by other purificatory processes, out of which the sacred thread ceremony is one. This is performed at the time of spiritual initiation. After this particular samskara, one is rightly called twice-born  + (05:27:30, 25 January 2019)

• Vyasadeva and Lord Krsna are both on the transcendental plane, and therefore they collaborated in doing good to the fallen souls of this age. The BG is the essence of all Vedic knowledge. It is the first book of spiritual values, as the Upanisads are  + (05:52:56, 25 January 2019)
• The Vedanta philosophy is the subject matter for study by the spiritual graduates. Only the post-graduate spiritual student can enter into the spiritual or devotional service of the Lord  + (05:57:40, 25 January 2019)
• It (Vedanta philosophy) is a great science, and the great professor is the Lord Himself in the form of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And persons who are empowered by Him can initiate others in the transcendental loving service of the Lord  + (06:02:10, 25 January 2019)
• Vyasadeva was not satisfied with himself, although he had prepared literatures of Vedic value for the all-around welfare of the general mass of people. It was expected that he would be satisfied by all such activities, but ultimately he was not satisfied  + (06:09:26, 25 January 2019)

• Purification of the living being submerged in matter is made possible by the prescribed activities in the Vedas, but the ultimate achievement is different  + (06:37:32, 25 January 2019)
• Unless it (purification) is attained, the living being, even though fully equipped, cannot be situated in the transcendentally normal stage. Srila Vyasadeva appeared to have lost the clue and therefore felt dissatisfaction  + (11:24:40, 26 January 2019)
• The dissatisfaction which was being felt by Srila Vyasadeva is expressed herein in his own words. This was felt for the normal condition of the living being in the devotional service of the Lord  + (11:28:07, 26 January 2019)
• Unless one is fixed in the normal condition of service, neither the Lord nor the living being can become fully satisfied. This defect was felt by him when Narada Muni, his spiritual master, reached him. It is described as follows  + (11:30:48, 26 January 2019)

• It is definitely expressed herewith that without the transcendental loving service of the Lord, everything is void  + (11:44:47, 26 January 2019)
• In the transcendental service of the Lord, everything is tangible without any separate attempt at fruitive work or empiric philosophical speculation  + (11:47:04, 26 January 2019)
• Vidhi means Brahma, the first created living being. He is the original student as well as professor of the Vedas. He learned it from Sri Krsna and taught Narada first. So Narada is the second acarya in the line of spiritual disciplic succession  + (11:50:37, 26 January 2019)
• Narada Muni is the representative of Brahma, and therefore he is respected exactly like Brahma, the father of all vidhis; similarly all other successive disciples in the chain are also equally respected as representatives of the original spiritual master  + (11:54:15, 26 January 2019)
• Narada was smiling because he well knew the great sage Vedavyasa and the cause of his disappointment  + (12:02:54, 26 January 2019)
• Vyasadeva's disappointment was due to insufficiency in presenting the science of devotional service. Narada knew the defect, and it was confirmed by the position of Vyasa  + (12:08:12, 26 January 2019)
• Being a great son of a great father, he (Vyasadeva) should not have identified the self with the body or the mind. Ordinary men with a poor fund of knowledge can identify the body as self or the mind as self, but Vyasadeva should not have done so  + (12:13:05, 26 January 2019)
• The Vedanta-sutra, or Brahma-sutra, compiled by Sri Vyasadeva is the full deliberation of the impersonal absolute feature, and it is accepted as the most exalted philosophical exposition in the world  + (12:19:47, 26 January 2019)
• It (Vedanta-sutra) covers the subject of eternity, and the methods are scholarly. So there cannot be any doubt about the transcendental scholarship of Vyasadeva. So why should he lament?  + (12:21:56, 26 January 2019)
