Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 17.131-132
"“The Lord’s holy name, His form and His personality are all one and the same. There is no difference between them. Since all of them are absolute, they are all transcendentally blissful." "“There is no difference between Kṛṣṇa’s body and Himself or between His name and Himself. But as far as the conditioned soul is concerned, one’s name is different from one’s body, from one’s original form and so on." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 17.131 & 132
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 17.133
"“ ‘The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Kṛṣṇa’s name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Kṛṣṇa Himself. Since Kṛṣṇa’s name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with māyā. Kṛṣṇa’s name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa Himself are identical.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 17.133
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 18.191-193
"“According to the Koran, the Lord has a supreme, blissful, transcendental body. He is the Absolute Truth, the all-pervading, omniscient and eternal being. He is the origin of everything." "“Creation, maintenance and dissolution come from Him. He is the original shelter of all gross and subtle cosmic manifestations." "“The Lord is the Supreme Truth, worshipable by everyone. He is the cause of all causes. By engaging in His devotional service, the living entity is relieved from material existence." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 18.191 & 192 & 193
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 18.194
"“No conditioned soul can get out of material bondage without serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Love at His lotus feet is the ultimate goal of life." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 18.194
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 19.143
"“ ‘O Lord, although the living entities who have accepted material bodies are spiritual and unlimited in number, if they were all-pervading there would be no question of their being under Your control. If they are accepted, however, as particles of the eternally existing spiritual entity — as part of You, who are the supreme spirit whole — we must conclude that they are always under Your control. If the living entities are simply satisfied with being identical with You as spiritual particles, then they will be happy being controllers of so many things. The conclusion that the living entities and the Supreme Personality of Godhead are one and the same is a faulty conclusion. It is not a fact.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 19.143
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.108-110
"“It is the living entity’s constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa because he is the marginal energy of Kṛṣṇa and a manifestation simultaneously one with and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Kṛṣṇa has three varieties of energy." "“ ‘Just as the illumination of a fire, which is situated in one place, is spread all over, the energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Parabrahman, are spread all over this universe.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.108-109 & 110
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.111-112
"“Lord Kṛṣṇa naturally has three energetic transformations, and these are known as the spiritual potency, the living entity potency and the illusory potency." "“ ‘Originally, Kṛṣṇa’s energy is spiritual, and the energy known as the living entity is also spiritual. However, there is another energy, called illusion, which consists of fruitive activity. That is the Lord’s third potency.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.111 & 20.112
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.119
"“ ‘When the living entity is attracted by the material energy, which is separate from Kṛṣṇa, he is overpowered by fear. Because he is separated from the Supreme Personality of Godhead by the material energy, his conception of life is reversed. In other words, instead of being the eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, he becomes Kṛṣṇa’s competitor. This is called viparyayo ’smṛtiḥ. To nullify this mistake, one who is actually learned and advanced worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his spiritual master, worshipful Deity and source of life. He thus worships the Lord by the process of unalloyed devotional service.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.119
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.122
"“The conditioned soul cannot revive his Kṛṣṇa consciousness by his own effort. But out of causeless mercy, Lord Kṛṣṇa compiled the Vedic literature and its supplements, the Purāṇas." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.122
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.123
"“The forgetful conditioned soul is educated by Kṛṣṇa through the Vedic literatures, the realized spiritual master and the Supersoul. Through these, he can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is, and he can understand that Lord Kṛṣṇa is his eternal master and deliverer from the clutches of māyā. In this way one can acquire real knowledge of his conditioned life and can come to understand how to attain liberation." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.123
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.124
"“The Vedic literatures give information about the living entity’s eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, which is called sambandha. The living entity’s understanding of this relationship and his acting accordingly is called abhidheya. Returning home, back to Godhead, is the ultimate goal of life and is called prayojana." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.124
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.125-126
"“Devotional service, or sense activity for the satisfaction of the Lord, is called abhidheya because it can develop one’s original love of Godhead, which is the goal of life. This goal is the living entity’s topmost interest and greatest wealth. Thus one attains the platform of transcendental loving service unto the Lord." "“When one attains the transcendental bliss of an intimate relationship with Kṛṣṇa, he renders service to Him and tastes the mellows of Kṛṣṇa consciousness." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.125 & 126
