Vedic Thoughts

If one sincerely searches for spiritual salvation, then Kṛṣṅa, being situated in everyone's heart, gives him the intelligence to find a suitable spiritual master. By the grace of a spiritual master . . . , one gets the proper instruction and advances in his spiritual life. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.20.4, Purport

And I declare that one who studies this sacred conversation of ours worships Me by his intelligence. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṅa, Bhagavad-gītā 18.70

The Supreme Lord, who is greater than the greatest, becomes submissive to even a very insignificant devotee because of his devotional service. It is the beautiful and exalted nature of devotional service that the infinite Lord becomes submissive to the infinitesimal living entity because of it. In reciprocal devotional activities with the Lord, the devotee actually enjoys the transcendental mellow of devotional service. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Adi-līlā 7.145

As oil stays in sesame seeds, as fire stays in wood, as butter stays in milk, and as fragrance stays in flowers, so I, the Supersoul, stay in the hearts of all living creatures. Lord Viṣṅu, Vāsudeva Upaniṣad

Devotional service alone is the eternal supreme occupational duty. It is applicable to and beneficial for everyone. Nondevotional activities, such as karma, jñāna, yoga, austerity, and vows are known as inferior religious principles because they are temporary. Sectarianism and narrow-mindedness are the two trademarks of these inferior religious systems. The Supreme Lord is the only object of worship; therefore He delivers everyone by manifesting His various pastimes. This is His unique quality. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Madhya-khanda 10.78, Commentary

Let the transcendental pastimes of the blackish personality Kṛṣṅa and the golden cowherd girl Rādhā, who are constantly overwhelmed with ecstatic love for each other, who always reside in Vṛndāvana, whose beauty attracts the minds of everyone, and who are the reservoir of wonderful loving pastimes, become constantly manifested in my heart. Śrīla Prabodhananda Sarasvatī, Śrī Vṛndāvana-mahimamrta 17.4

One who actually satisfies the Supreme Personality of Godhead during one's lifetime becomes liberated from the gross and subtle material conditions. Thus being freed from all material modes of nature, he achieves unlimited spiritual bliss. Svāyambhuva Manu, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.11.14
