Bhaktyā maṁ abhijānāti ([[Vanisource:BG 18.55 (1972)|BG 18.55]]). The understanding is also through bhakti, and through bhakti you can control God. Vedeṣu durlabham adurlabha ātmā-bhaktau (BS 5.33). You cannot understand God by studying Vedas. Vedeṣu durlabham adurlabha ātmā-bhaktau. But for His devotees, He is very, very easily available. Therefore bhakti is the only source. Bhaktyām ekayā grāhyam. Only through bhakti you can approach, you can talk with God on equal level just like friend. The cowherd boys, they were treating Kṛṣṇa on the same status: "Kṛṣṇa is like us." But they loved Kṛṣṇa very, very intensely. That is their qualification. Therefore Kṛṣṇa sometimes agreed to take the cowherd boys on His shoulder.
