| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is very nicely described how this universal form took place and how Brahmā was created and from Brahmā the ṛṣis were created, how population increased generally. These descriptions are there. So actually He is the origin. Janmādy asya yataḥ (SB 1.1.1). As it is said in the Vedānta-sūtra, everything emanating from Him." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "This whole material atmosphere is surcharged with three modes of material nature. So one has to transcend the modes of material nature. Just like one should not try to become a first-class prisoner. In the prison house, if one is a third-class prisoner and one is first-class prisoner, the third-class prisoner should not aspire that 'Let me remain in this prison house and become a first-class prisoner'. That is not good. One should transcend the prison walls, or come out of the prison house. That is his aim." |

| "Everything is emanating from the Absolute. So there is love. Just like Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa love, Kiśora-kiśorī, young Kṛṣṇa, young Rādhārāṇī. This love is pervertedly reflected in this material world which is in the name of love, but it is lust; therefore it is called perverted reflection. Lust because the..., a young boy, a young girl mix together, they love together, but a slight disagreement, they separate." |
