bhaktya mam abhijanati / yavan yas casmi tattvatah
tato mam tattvato jnatva / visate tad-anantaram

If you want to know Krsna in truth, then you have to take this devotional line. Then gradually Krsna will be attracted by your devotion, and then you will know Krsna and you’ll be allowed to enter into Krsna’s place.

From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Bhagavad-gita 2.25, Hyderabad, November 29, 1972
