Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.201
"“The original nature of every living entity is to consider himself the eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa. But under the influence of māyā he thinks himself to be the body, and thus his original consciousness is covered." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.201
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 4.175-176
"“ ‘Anything not conceived in relationship to Kṛṣṇa should be understood to be illusion [māyā]. None of the illusions uttered by words or conceived in the mind are factual. Because illusion is not factual, there is no distinction between what we think is good and what we think is bad. When we speak of the Absolute Truth, such speculations do not apply.’" "“In the material world, conceptions of good and bad are all mental speculations. Therefore, saying ‘This is good’ and ‘This is bad’ is all a mistake." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 4.175 & 176
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 7.119
"An ignorant living being does not recognize his actual profit. Because of ignorance and material pride, he sometimes considers profit a loss, but when his pride is cut down he can actually see his true benefit." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 7.119
