न वेदयज्ञाध्ययनैर्न दानै-
र्न च क्रियाभिर्न तपोभिरुग्रै: ।
एवंरूप: शक्य अहं नृलोके
द्रष्टुं त्वदन्येन कुरुप्रवीर ॥ ४८ ॥

na veda-yajñādhyayanair na dānair
na ca kriyābhir na tapobhir ugraiḥ
evaṁ-rūpaḥ śakya ahaṁ nṛ-loke
draṣṭuṁ tvad anyena kuru-pravīra

O best of the Kuru warriors, no one before you has ever seen this universal form of Mine, for neither by studying the Vedas, nor by performing sacrifices, nor by charity, nor by pious activities, nor by severe penances can I be seen in this form in the material world.

[karthikshenoy]

Hare krishna prabhuji,
Those who are atheistic, i.e., who do not believe in Viṣṇu, or who recognize only the impersonal part of Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme, cannot have the divine vision.

[janakinistala]

Hare Krishna Prabhuji
Krishna tells Arjuna that no amount of sacrifice, rituals or charity, austerities is sufficient to bestow a vision of cosmic form .This is only possible by Krishna's divine grace

[mrudularavindran]

Hare Krishna
Krishna says only pure devotees Can see the universal form. It's not possible by non devotees even if they do all kinds of rituals, austerities, pious activities, charity or reading scriptures in this material world.
