- Chaitanya Deva used to experience three kinds of spiritual states: the inmost state, the semiconscious state, and the conscious state. In the inmost state, he would have the vision of God and pass into samadhi – he would attain the state of Jada Samadhi. In the semi-conscious state, he would retain partial awareness of the external world. And in the conscious state, he would sing the name and glories of God.
- Chaitanya Deva embraced sannyasa – so that everybody would pay him obeisance. Whoever salutes an Incarnation, even once, is liberated.
- Chaitanya Deva experienced three states. In the innermost state, he was absorbed in samadhi, with no outer consciousness. In the semiconscious state, he would dance in ecstasy but would not speak. When in outward consciousness, he would sing songs of devotion.
- Chaitanya Deva said, ‘The seed I have broadcast will one day bear fruit.’ A seed was placed on the cornice of a house. The house fell and that seed produced a tree.
- Tears used to flow from Chaitanya’s eyes when he heard the name of Krishna. Only God is substantial, all else is illusory. The man, if he so wishes, can realize God. But he remains addicted to the enjoyment of ’lust and greed.’
- Chaitanya Deva’s advice is best: compassion for the living, service, and chanting God’s name and glories.
