When Krishna manifested in Vraja, devotees and non-devotees saw Him with their eyes, but only the devotees cherished Him, eternally present in Vraja, as the priceless jewel of their hearts.

Even today, devotees see Him in Vraja in their hearts, filled with devotion, although they do not see Him with their eyes. The eye of devotion is none other than the eye of the pure and unadulterated spiritual self of the soul. The form of Krishna is visible to this eye in proportion to its purification by the practice of devotion.

When the devotion of the neophyte reaches the stage of deep and sincere devotion to Krishna, the pure eye of that devotee is anointed with the balm of love by the grace of Krishna, enabling him to see the Lord face to face.

The expression “in the heart” means that Krishna is visible as their hearts are purified by the practice of devotion.

The essence of this statement is that the form of Krishna, who is Syamasundara, Natavara (the best dancer), Muralidhara (the one who holds the flute), and Tribhanga (the one who masters the triple bend), is not a mental construct, but a transcendental reality, perceptible to the soul of the devotee in a state of trance.

Everything is revealed to those who awaken to true spiritual and absolute knowledge.

In truth, when this knowledge, which dispels ignorance of matters relating to God and Absolute Truth, illuminates the being, everything is revealed to him.

True knowledge is that which allows one to perceive the spiritual individuality of all living beings—celestial beings, human beings, animals, and plants—as well as that of God, the Supreme Being, and to know the link that unites one to the Lord, and this link is love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

Those who forget Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, cannot escape delusion, but those who are conscious of Him never experience it.

Knowledge is always a blessing, but it is through self-surrender to Krishna that perfect knowledge is acquired. He who, after many lives, acquires absolute knowledge and surrenders to Krishna, then sees everything revealed to him.

The paths of delusion are many: believing oneself to be God, for example, is to fall into the trap of the grossest illusion. But how can one be deluded when one is God?

If that were possible, then Satan, illusion, would be stronger than God, but that is not the case.
