Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.72
"“ ‘A person advanced in devotional service sees within everything the soul of souls, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Consequently he always sees the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the cause of all causes and understands that all things are situated in Him." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.72
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.76
"“ ‘In one who has unflinching devotional faith in Kṛṣṇa, all the good qualities of Kṛṣṇa and the demigods are consistently manifest. However, he who has no devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no good qualifications because he is engaged by mental concoction in material existence, which is the external feature of the Lord.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.76
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.78-80
"“Devotees are always merciful, humble, truthful, equal to all, faultless, magnanimous, mild and clean. They are without material possessions, and they perform welfare work for everyone. They are peaceful, surrendered to Kṛṣṇa and desireless. They are indifferent to material acquisitions and are fixed in devotional service. They completely control the six bad qualities — lust, anger, greed and so forth. They eat only as much as required, and they are not inebriated. They are respectful, grave, compassionate and without false prestige. They are friendly, poetic, expert and silent." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.78-80
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.88-90
"“ ‘By association with worldly people, one becomes devoid of truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, gravity, spiritual intelligence, shyness, austerity, fame, forgiveness, control of the mind, control of the senses, fortune and all opportunities. One should not at any time associate with a coarse fool who is bereft of the knowledge of self-realization and who is no more than a toy animal in the hands of a woman. The illusion and bondage that accrue to a man from attachment to any other object are not as complete as that resulting from association with a woman or with men too much attached to women.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.88-90
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.103
"“ ‘The living entity who is subjected to birth and death attains immortality when he gives up all material activities, dedicates his life to the execution of My order, and acts according to My directions. In this way he becomes fit to enjoy the spiritual bliss derived from exchanging loving mellows with Me.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.103
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.113
"“ ‘Kṛṣṇa is the origin of Lord Viṣṇu. He should always be remembered and never forgotten at any time. All the rules and prohibitions mentioned in the śāstras should be the servants of these two principles.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 22.113
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.38
"“Lord Kṛṣṇa is so exalted that He is more attractive than anything else and more pleasing than anything else. He is the most sublime abode of bliss. By His own strength, He causes one to forget all other ecstasies." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.38
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.60-61
"“When the devotee somehow or other always remembers the Supreme Personality of Godhead anywhere and everywhere, Lord Hari takes away life’s four miserable conditions." "“ ‘As all fuel is burned to ashes by a full-fledged fire, all sinful activities are totally erased when one engages in devotional service to Me.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.60 & 61
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.76
"“ ‘Prior to the cosmic creation, only I exist, and no phenomena exist, either gross, subtle or primordial. After creation, only I exist in everything, and after annihilation only I remain eternally.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.76
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.137
"“ ‘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 24.137
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.169
"“ ‘The transcendental position cannot be attained by wandering up and down from Brahmaloka and Satyaloka to Pātālaloka. If one is actually intelligent and learned, he should endeavor for that rare transcendental position. By the force of time one attains whatever material happiness is available within the fourteen worlds, just as one attains distress in due course of time. But since spiritual consciousness is not attained in this way, one should try for it.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.169
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.170
"“ ‘Those who are eager to awaken their spiritual consciousness and who thus have unflinching, undeviated intelligence certainly attain the desired goal of life very soon.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.170
