Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Only few could see Him, that He is Supreme Personality of Godhead. So even God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna comes before somebody; it is not possible to see him. The seeing process is different. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena (Bs 5.38). One can see when the eyes are anointed with the ointment of bhakti. The eyes have cleansed to see God. That is revelation.

So, this yoga system, bhakti-yoga, how to increase attachment for Krsna, is being taught by our Krsna Consciousness movement. Mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ (BG 7.1). In this connection, one has to learn this yogic system from Krsna directly or from his representative. That is the meaning of mad-asraya. One must take shelter…So at the present moment, it is not possible to take shelter of Krsna directly, therefore one has to take shelter of his bona fide representative. There are four parties or sampradaya who are vaishnavas. The Brahma Sampradaya, Rudra Sampradaya, Sri Sampradaya, and Kumara Sampradaya. So one has to take shelter of either of these Sampradayas, disciplic succession, and then learn the bhakti-yoga system from him. Then he'll understand, or he'll see God. Seeing God is not exactly seeing with the eyes. God's another name is Anubhava, realization. Revelation. Realization. So that is wanted.

That revelation is made by Krsna Himself to the bona fide devotee. Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ (CC Madhya 17.136). Krsna, God reveals Himself. Just like you cannot see the sun in the darkness of night. Sun is there in the sky, but somehow or other, when your planet is on the other side, and it is darkness, you cannot see the sun. Not that the sun is not there, but you cannot see. Similarly, Krsna is always present before us, but we cannot see Him. Just like Krsna, when He was personally present. They were... There were so many hundreds and millions of men on the surface of the globe. Only few could see Him, that He is Supreme Personality of Godhead. So even God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna comes before somebody; it is not possible to see him. The seeing process is different. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena (Bs 5.38). One can see when the eyes are anointed with the ointment of bhakti. The eyes have cleansed to see God. That is revelation.
