Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.4.23
"It is the Absolute Truth alone who manifests in the forms of intelligence, the senses and the objects of sense perception, and who is their ultimate basis. Whatever has a beginning and an end is insubstantial because of being an object perceived by limited senses and because of being nondifferent from its own cause." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/4/23
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.6.69
"You are personally present as the indwelling lord in the hearts of all moving and nonmoving beings, who depend completely on your shelter. Indeed, you animate their material minds, senses and vital airs to act." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/6/69
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.7.11
"From the agitation of the original modes within the unmanifest material nature, the mahat-tattva arises. From the mahat-tattva comes the element false ego, which divides into three aspects. This threefold false ego further manifests as the subtle forms of perception, as the senses and as the gross sense objects. The generation of all these is called creation." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/7/11
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 3.90-91

One consists of the demoniac and the other of the godly. The devotees of Lord Viṣṇu are the godly, whereas those who are just the opposite are called demons.”" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi 3.90 & 3.91
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 4.165-166, 171
"The desire to gratify one’s own senses is kāma [lust], but the desire to please the senses of Lord Kṛṣṇa is prema [love]." "The object of lust is only the enjoyment of one’s own senses. But love caters to the enjoyment of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and thus it is very powerful." "Therefore lust and love are quite different. Lust is like dense darkness, but love is like the bright sun." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi 4.165 & 166 & 171

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 22.41
