Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.11.36( Padma Mataji)

"Although the queens' beautiful smiles and furtive glances were all spotless and exciting, and although they could conquer Cupid himself by making him give up his bow in frustration, and although even the tolerant Śiva could fall victim to them, still, despite all their magical feats and attractions, they could not agitate the senses of the Lord"

*The path of salvation or the path going back to Godhead always forbids the association of women, and the complete sanātana-dharma orvarṇāśrama-dharma scheme forbids or restricts association with women

*Those who want to go back home back to Godhead, are especially advised by all scriptural instruction to become free from paraphernalia of material attraction. And that is possible only by the association of the devotees of the Lord.

* All the activities Krishna performed are transcendental. Activities of Krishna should never be thought as mundane activities.

*Krishna pleases devotees according to the devotion a devotee shows towards him.

*In Caitanya Carithamrutha it is said, even though a devotee practices devotional service with lust in his heart after some time his lust will vanquish.

*Supreme Personality of Godhead is called as adhokshaja means he beyond material sense of perception.

*As we are in fallen condition easiest way to approach lord is through chanting his holy names.
