Krishna replied: It is difficult to see the vision that you have seen. Even the gods desire to see this form of mine. It is not possible to see me as you have through studying the scriptures, performing austerities, giving gifts, or making sacrifices. Only through unwavering devotion can I be seen and known. This is the only way to become one with me. One who performs action for me, who regards me as the supreme goal, who is devoted to me, free from attachment, bearing no animosity toward any creature, becomes one with me.
