One who does not accept the transcendental form of the Lord is certainly an agnostic. Such a person should be neither seen nor touched. Indeed, he is subject to be punished by Yamaraja [the lord of death].
- Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Chaitanya-charitamrta, Madhya-lila 6.167
One who engages in the transcendental service of the Lord in body, mind and word is to be considered liberated in all conditions of material existence.
Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu 1.2.187

Because Krishna’s form, qualities, pastimes, etc. are all on the absolute platform, material senses cannot therefore appreciate them. When a conditioned soul is awakened to Krishna consciousness and renders service by using his tongue to chant the Lord’s Holy name and taste the remnants of the Lord’s food, the tongue is purified and one gradually
comes to understand who Krishna really is.
Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu 1.2.234

A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind’s demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples
all over the world.
Upadeshamrita, Mantra 1
Only to those great souls who have implicit faith in both the Lord and the spiritual master are all the imports of the Vedic knowledge automatically revealed.
Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6.38
That head is the loftiest which is white with dust from bowing down to Lord Krishna. Those eyes are most beautiful which darkness has abandoned after they have seen Lord Hari. That intelligence is spotless – like the white glow of the moon or a conch shell – which concentrates on Lord Madhava. And that tongue rains down nectar which
constantly glorifies Lord Narayana.
King Kulashekhara
Mukunda-mala-stotra 19
The Bhagavata (Srimad Bhagavatam) does not allow its followers to ask anything from God except eternal love towards Him. The kingdom of world, the beauties of the local heavens, and the sovereignty over the material world are never the subjects of Vaishnava prayer.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
The Bhagavata: Its Philosophy, Its Ethics and Its Theology

Sex life is compared to the rubbing of two hands to relieve an itch. Grhamedis, so-called grhasthas who have no spiritual knowledge, think that this itching is the greatest platform of happiness, although actually it is a source of distress. The krpanas, the fools who are just the opposite of brahmanas, are not satisfied by repeated enjoyment. Those who are dhira, however, who are sober and who tolerate this itching, are not subjected to the sufferings of fools and rascals.
- Prahlada Maharaja’s prayers to Lord Nrsimhadeva, Srimad Bhagavatam 7.9.45
