Sri Prahlad Maharaj Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.32

 Unless they smear upon their bodies the dust of the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava completely freed from material contamination, persons very much inclined toward materialistic life cannot be attached to the lotus feet of the Lord, who is glorified for His uncommon activities. Only by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious and taking shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord in this way can one be freed from material contamination.

The Whole World Appears to be Happy

 Prabodhananda Sarasvati said, visvam purna-sukhayate: when one becomes Krsna conscious by the mercy of Lord Caitanya, for him the entire world appears happy, and he has nothing for which to hanker.

Savarana Sri Gaura Pada Padme Prarthana 1,2

My dear Lord Caitanya, please be merciful to me, because who can be more merciful than Your Lordship within these three worlds?  Your incarnation is just to reclaim the conditioned, fallen souls, but I assure You that You will not find a greater fallen soul than me. Therefore, my claim is first.

Siksastakam 1

“One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.”

Siksastakam 2

 Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu prays: "O my Lord! Your holy name alone can render all benediction upon the living beings, and therefore You have hundreds and millions of names, like Kṛṣṇa and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies, and there is no hard and fast rule for chanting these holy names. O my Lord! You have so kindly made approach to You easy by Your holy names, but unfortunate as I am, I have no attraction for them." (Śikṣāṣṭakam, 2).

Look Inward

  We advance by becoming conscious of our own faults, not by becoming conscious of the faults of others.

Chaitanya Charitamrita Adi 14.1

 Things that are very difficult to do become easy to execute if one somehow or other simply remembers Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. But if one does not remember Him, even easy things become very difficult. To this Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu I offer my respectful obeisances.

Mundane Logic

 One should not try to apply mundane logic and reasoning to that which is inconceivable.                 acintyāḥ khalu ye bhāvā na tāṁs tarkeṇa yojayet
