Nondevotees factually appreciate the wonderful creation of material nature, but they cannot appreciate the intelligence and energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is behind this material creation.
Sri Chaitanya Caritamrta,
Adi Lila 7.121
He is the father of everyone but when His devotee takes it for granted that the Lord is to be protected by the devotee’s care, it is a transcendental joy for the Lord.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.2.26,
Consciousness is originally pure, like water. But if we mix water with a certain color, it changes. Similarly, consciousness is pure, for the spirit soul is pure. But consciousness is changed according to the association of the material qualities.
Bhagavad-gita 15.9,
Srila Prabhupada
Consultation with the Supersoul seated within everyone’s heart is possible only when one is completely free from the contamination of material attachment.
To chant God’s holy name means to associate directly with Him.
