Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.6.29
"This is indeed the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu’s illusory energy, which is unstoppable and difficult to perceive. Although the individual spirit souls are part and parcel of the Lord, through the influence of this illusory energy they are bewildered by their identification with various material bodies." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/6/29
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.7.12
"The secondary creation, which exists by the mercy of the Lord, is the manifest amalgamation of the desires of the living entities. Just as a seed produces additional seeds, activities that promote material desires in the performer produce moving and nonmoving life forms." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/7/12
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.7.18
"Out of ignorance the living being performs material activities and thereby becomes in one sense the cause of the creation, maintenance and destruction of the universe.

"“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."

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

"“If the conditioned soul becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious by the mercy of saintly persons who voluntarily preach scriptural injunctions and help him to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, the conditioned soul is liberated from the clutches of māyā, who gives him up." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.120
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.13
"“Due to his being opposed to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the conditioned soul is punished by the witch of the external energy, māyā.

Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.13

"“In this way the conditioned soul becomes the servant of lusty desires, and when these are not fulfilled, he becomes the servant of anger and continues to be kicked by the external energy, māyā. Wandering and wandering throughout the universe, he may by chance get the association of a devotee physician, whose instructions and hymns make the witch of the external energy flee. The conditioned soul thus gets into touch with devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa, and in this way he can approach nearer and nearer to the Lord." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.14-15
