Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.22
"Therefore this entire universe, which like a dream is by nature unreal, nevertheless appears real, and thus it covers one’s consciousness and assails one with repeated miseries. This universe appears real because it is manifested by the potency of illusion emanating from You, whose unlimited transcendental forms are full of eternal happiness and knowledge." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/22
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.23
"You are the one Supreme Soul, the primeval Supreme Personality, the Absolute Truth — self-manifested, endless and beginningless. You are eternal and infallible, perfect and complete, without any rival and free from all material designations. Your happiness can never be obstructed, nor have You any connection with material contamination. Indeed, You are the indestructible nectar of immortality." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/23
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.24
"Those who have received the clear vision of knowledge from the sunlike spiritual master can see You in this way, as the very Soul of all souls, the Supersoul of everyone’s own self. Thus understanding Your original personality, they are able to cross over the ocean of illusory material existence." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/24
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.25
"A person who mistakes a rope for a snake becomes fearful, but he then gives up his fear upon realizing that the so-called snake does not exist. Similarly, for those who fail to recognize You as the Supreme Soul of all souls, the expansive illusory material existence arises, but knowledge of You at once causes it to subside." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/25
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.26
"The conception of material bondage and the conception of liberation are both manifestations of ignorance. Being outside the scope of true knowledge, they cease to exist when one correctly understands that the pure spirit soul is distinct from matter and always fully conscious. At that time bondage and liberation no longer have any significance, just as day and night have no significance from the perspective of the sun." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/26
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.29
"My Lord, if one is favored by even a slight trace of the mercy of Your lotus feet, he can understand the greatness of Your personality. But those who speculate to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead are unable to know You, even though they continue to study the Vedas for many years." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/29
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.36
"My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa, until people become Your devotees, their material attachments and desires remain thieves, their homes remain prisons, and their affectionate feelings for their family members remain foot-shackles." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/36
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.44
"What indeed is not forgotten by those whose minds are bewildered by the Lord’s illusory potency? By that power of Māyā, this entire universe remains in perpetual bewilderment, and in this atmosphere of forgetfulness no one can understand his own identity." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/44
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.50-51
"Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King, for every created being the dearmost thing is certainly his own self. The dearness of everything else — children, wealth and so on — is due only to the dearness of the self." "For this reason, O best of kings, the embodied soul is self-centered: he is more attached to his own body and self than to his so-called possessions like children, wealth and home." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/50 & https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/51
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.52-54
"Indeed, for persons who think the body is the self, O best of kings, those things whose importance lies only in their relationship to the body are never as dear as the body itself." "If a person comes to the stage of considering the body “mine” instead of “me,” he will certainly not consider the body as dear as his own self. After all, even as the body is growing old and useless, one’s desire to continue living remains strong." "Therefore it is his own self that is most dear to every embodied living being, and it is simply for the satisfaction of this self that the whole material creation of moving and nonmoving entities exists." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/52 & https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/53 & https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/54
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.55
"You should know Kṛṣṇa to be the original Soul of all living entities. For the benefit of the whole universe, He has, out of His causeless mercy, appeared as an ordinary human being. He has done this by the strength of His internal potency." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/55
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.56
"Those in this world who understand Lord Kṛṣṇa as He is see all things, whether stationary or moving, as manifest forms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such enlightened persons recognize no reality apart from the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/14/56
