Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 24.198
"“Devotional service is so strong that when one engages in it, he gradually gives up all material desires and becomes fully attracted to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. All this is brought about by attraction for the transcendental qualities of the Lord." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.198
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 - Madhya-līlā 24.218
"“As long as one labors under the bodily conception, he must fulfill volumes and volumes of material desires. Thus a person is called ātmārāma. When such an ātmārāma is favored by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, he gives up his so-called self-satisfaction and engages in the transcendental loving service of the Lord." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 24.218
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 25.138
"“ ‘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 25.138
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 3.92
"“O my Lord, everything within material nature is limited by time, space and thought. Your characteristics, however, being unequaled and unsurpassed, are always transcendental to such limitations. You sometimes cover such characteristics by Your own energy, but nevertheless Your unalloyed devotees are always able to see You under all circumstances.”" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 3.92
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 4.71
"“Of the nine processes of devotional service, the most important is to always chant the holy name of the Lord. If one does so, avoiding the ten kinds of offenses, one very easily obtains the most valuable love of Godhead.”" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 4.71
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 4.178

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 4.194

In this way he becomes fit to enjoy the spiritual bliss derived from exchanging loving mellows with Me.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 4.194
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 5.122-123

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 5.126
"“Whereas Kṛṣṇa, the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is full of transcendental bliss, possesses all six spiritual opulences in full, and is the master of the material energy, the small conditioned soul, who is always unhappy, is the servant of the material energy." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 5.126
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Antya-līlā 5.127
"“ ‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the supreme controller, is always full of transcendental bliss and is accompanied by the potencies known as hlādinī and samvit. The conditioned soul, however, is always covered by ignorance and embarrassed by the threefold miseries of life. Thus he is a treasure house of all kinds of tribulations.’ ”" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 5.127
