Vedic sources
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 5
SB 5.14 Summary: Sometimes the conditioned soul tries to save himself from inexorable time and thus takes shelter of some bogus savior. Unfortunately, the bogus savior cannot even save himself. How, then, can he protect others? The bogus saviors do not care for bona fide knowledge received from qualified brāhmaṇas and Vedic sources.
SB 5.16.4, Purport: We should therefore be satisfied with the information obtainable from Vedic sources as spoken by authorities like Śukadeva Gosvāmī.
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta
CC Adi-lila
CC Adi 5.14, Purport: Therefore we have to gather knowledge from the right source. Indeed, in reality we can get knowledge only from the Vedic sources.
Lectures
Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures
Lecture on BG 16.8 -- Hawaii, February 4, 1975: The pregnancy will take place when there is actually living soul within this material creation, material combination, emulsification. That is the knowledge we get from Vedic sources. Karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa jantur deha upapatti: [SB 3.31.1] "Jantuḥ, the living entity, is getting a type of body by the karma." It is not simply lusty combination.
