SIDDHA- DEHA REVEALED

Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, Prabhupader Patravali, Chapter 1: "There is no point in making a separate effort to artificially remember the Lord's form, qualities and pastimes. The Lord and His name are one and the same. This will be understood clearly when the coverings in our hearts are removed. By chanting without offenses you will personally realize that all perfections come from the Holy Name."

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada Prakrta-rasa-sata-dusani: "Rasa, devotional mellow, can never be first present and then develop into rati, transcendental attachment, or sraddha, proper faith. The Srimad-Bhagavatam (or the realized devotee) never sings any opinion other than rati develops from sraddha."

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada, letter: "Those who have achieved the perfection of being fixed in their spiritual identity (svarupa-siddhi) have attained such a realization through internal revelation and the spiritual master's only involvement in these matters is to help the further advancement of a disciple. As a practitioner progresses toward spiritual perfection, all these things are revealed naturally within the heart that sincerely seeks service."

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Letter, Los Angeles, February 19, 1970: "As soon as a devotee is regularly engaged in this way, always engaged in Krishna Consciousness, Krishna will reveal the whole spiritual science from within the heart of such sincere devotee." Srimad Bhagavatam 3.9.33: "When you are free from the conception of gross and subtle bodies and when your senses are free from all influences of the modes of material nature, you will realize your pure form in My association. At that time you will be situated in pure consciousness."

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Sri Caitanya Siksamrta, Chapter 7, Part 1:"Those who have not attained pure rati and sense control make futile attempts to become qualified for rasa by practicing rasa. That taste which arises naturally in a person on the level of prema is called rasa. The discussion of rasa is only a description of how the various elements combine in the different rasas; it is not a part of sadhana. Therefore, if anyone says that he will teach you the sadhana of rasa, he is an impostor or a fool."

Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Bhajana-rahasya, Prathama-yama Sadhana: "(When) almost all anarthas have disappeared one therefore has the required adhikara for attaining siddha-deha. If one thinks of his siddha-deha without achieving the adhikara his intellect becomes bewildered."
