God only reveals Himself to those who surrender themselves to Him, and serve Him with love and devotion.

The Supreme Lord says, "I never show myself to fools or fools; by My internal power, I am veiled for them. This misguided world does not therefore know Me, the unborn, the imperishable.

One wonders why God, once present on Earth and visible to all, is no longer so today. But in reality, though present, He was not manifested to everyone; only a handful of men knew him to be the Supreme Lord. God was not revealed as such to the common people and unbelievers.

However, Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who does not belong to ordinary mortals, affirms all knowledge of the past, the present and the future. We have seen that he remembers having instructed Vivasvan, the celestial being of the
