7. THE DOLE
“O Dhananjaya, keep all abominable activities far distant by devotional service, and in that consciousness surrender unto the Lord. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their work are misers.” Gita 2/29
England gives drugs to addicts, but doesn’t mean Queen is a pusher.

8. 1. Unconditional Pleasure
“There are many living entities within the ocean who enjoy
the activities of eating, sleeping, defending and mating. If such
insignificant living entities can enjoy life within the water, why
can't the Supreme Lord, who is all-powerful, sleep on the cool
body of a serpent and enjoy in the turmoil of violent ocean waves?”
SB 3/9/20

9. Conditional Pleasure
Generally a materialistic person becomes very happy when there is something for his sense gratification and his body, but when he sees that others have something for their sense gratification and he hasn't, he is sorry and envious. When he is expecting some retaliation from an enemy, he is in a state of fear, and when he cannot successfully execute something he becomes dejected. A devotee who is always transcendental to all these disturbances is very dear to Krishna.

10. The people in general are naturally inclined to enjoy, and you have encouraged them in that way in the name of religion. This is verily condemned and is quite unreasonable. Because they are guided under your instructions, they will accept such activities in the name of religion and will hardly care for prohibitions. SB 1/5/15

11. Karma Kanda
“To attain material heavenly planets and enjoy their facilities, he sometimes performs sacrifices (yajna), but when his merit is exhausted he returns to earth again in the form of a man. This process is called karma. Gita 8/3

12. Krishna Katha
“The highest perfection of life is to enjoy life constantly in the association of the Lord, and one who can relish this does not aspire after any temporary enjoyment of the material world via other media.” SB 2/20/30

15. Husband of All
“When He so descends He proves how much greater is His ability to enjoy, and He exhibits His power of enjoyment by marrying sixteen thousand wives at once. Factually, the Lord is the husband of all the women in His creation, but a conditioned soul under the control of the Lord feels proud to be the husband of one or two wives.”
SB 2/4/20

The Lord can generate unlimited pleasure. His name, attributes, pastimes, entourage,, etc. are unlimited, and those who relish them can do so unlimitedly & never feel satiated.

21. The great heroes of the Yadu. dynasty, being protected by
The great heroes of the Yadu dynasty, being protected by the arms of Lord Sri Krishna, always remain fearless in every respect. Their feet trample over the Sudharma assembly house, which the best demigods deserved but which was taken away from them.
SB 1/14/38
Those who are directly servitors of the Lord are protected by the Lord from all fearfulness, and they also enjoy the best of things, even if they are forcibly accumulated. The Lord is equal in behavior to all living beings, but He is partial to His pure devotees, being very affectionate toward them

22. “If Krishna wants to save you, then no one can harm you
“If Krishna wants to save you, then no one can harm you. If Krishna wants to kill you, no one can protect you.”

23. Secure Servant
The central figure of creation and of enjoyment is the Supreme Lord, and the living entities are cooperators. By cooperation they enjoy. The relation is also like that of the master and the servant. If the master is fully satisfied, then the servant is satisfied. The tendency to become the creator and the tendency to enjoy the material world are there also in the living entities because these tendencies are there in the Supreme Lord. Gita intro

24. 4. Unearned Pleasure Because he remains satisfied
in the loving service of the Lord,
he can remain steady, like the
ocean, and therefore enjoy full
peace. Others never attain peace.
The fruitive workers, the salvationists, and the yogis who are after mystic powers are all unhappy because of unfulfilled desires.

25. His Divine Grace

26. "My dear sons, there is no reason to labor very hard for sense pleasure while in this human form of life; such pleasures are available to the stool-eaters [hogs]. Rather, you should undergo penances by which your existence will be purified, and as a result you will be able to enjoy unlimited transcendental bliss."

27. By the result of the work in. which one is engaged, the
By the result of the work in which one is engaged, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, should be worshiped. If one thinks always in this way, in full Krishna consciousness, then, by the grace of the Lord, he becomes fully blissful. That is the perfection of life. The Lord says in Bhagavad-Gita (12.7), He takes charge of delivering such a devotee.

28. 5. Unending Pleasure
“Lord Sri Krishna, is the reservoir of innumerable enchanting pastimes, and
thus He is the source of innumerable varieties of pleasure. In fact, He is the ocean of eternal pleasure.”
SB 11/7/4

30. na tv evaham jatu nasam
na tvam neme janadhipah

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.” Gita 2/12

31. Goloka Vrndavan
“That supreme abode of Mine is not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire or electricity. Those who reach it never return to this material world.”

32. This is the transcendental position of spiritual life
This is the transcendental position of spiritual life. In other words, one who hears the Gita from the right source, directly from Krishna, attains full Krishna consciousness. The result of Krishna consciousness is that one becomes increasingly enlightened, and he enjoys life with a thrill, not only for some time, but at every moment.

33. The Lord plays the part of a subordinate in His transcendental sporting, and thus sometimes He puts Himself in the care of Yasoda.
That is the transcendental lila, or pastime of the Lord. The basic principle for all transcendental exchanges between the Lord and His devotees is exhibited to enjoy a transcendental bliss for which there is no comparison. SB 1/10/32

34. “It is a natural psychology in every individual that a person likes to hear and enjoy his personal glories enumerated by others. That is a natural instinct, and the Lord, being also an individual personality like others, is not an exception to this psychology because psychological characteristics are but reflections of the same psychology in the Absolute Lord. The only difference is that the Lord is the greatest personality of all. If, therefore, the Lord is attracted by the pure devotee's chanting of His glories, there is nothing astonishing.” SB 1/6/33
