नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया ।
शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ॥ ५३ ॥

śakya evaṁ-vidho draṣṭuṁ
dṛṣṭavān asi māṁ yathā

The form you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am.

[karthikshenoy]

Hare krishna prabhuji,
Kṛṣṇa can be understood only through the path of devotional service.

[janakinistala]

Hare Krishna Prabhuji
Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that he cannot be known by vedic studies, austerities or sacrifice alone, only by virtue of his grace, and unalloyed devotion one can realise him

[mrudularavindran]

Hare Krishna
By transcendental vision one can see Krishna but can't be understood. Knowledge of Vedas, penances, charity and worshiping are not qualification for understanding Krishna.. They can just help self purification. Then how to understand Krishna?..
