Acceptance of these first principles and ordinances may obtain for us a remission of our sins and assure our salvation. In the ordinance of the sacrament, we regularly renew this and other covenants, and by complying with our part of the covenant, we receive the Spirit of the Lord to be with us.

Unless one approaches a pure devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Each poem in becoming generates the laws by which it is generated: extensions of the laws to other poems never completely take.
