How can one approach God, see Him face to face, and dwell with Him for eternity?

The truth is that it is only through loving and devotional service that we can approach Krishna, God, the Supreme and Sovereign Person, see Him face to face, abide with Him, be in His presence all the time, and become His eternal servant or eternal maid.

To achieve this, we must absolutely, with sincerity, simplicity and humility, renew the bond of love that unites us to Him, obey Him, do His divine will, love to please Him, do everything possible to make Him constantly happy, link our desires and interests to His, abandon ourselves totally to Him, and serve Him with love and devotion.

The Supreme Lord Krishna says to this effect.

“If I teach you today this very ancient science, the art of knowing Me, it is because you are My friend and My devotee, and you can thus pierce its sublime mystery.

Thus in Me, Krishna, in My personal form, always absorbs your thoughts without failing. Dedicating your actions to Me, turning your mind and your intelligence towards Me, without a doubt you will come to Me.

Become My pure devotee, give yourself to Me alone. I promise you a perfect spiritual existence, which will earn you the eternal right to serve Me with spiritual and absolute love.

Free from bondage, free from fear and anger, completely absorbed in Me and seeking refuge in Me, many became purified by coming to know Me, and all thus attained pure love for Me.

I want you to know this, never, in any place, under any circumstances, can we be separated, for I am present everywhere.

Those who always serve and worship Me with love and devotion, I give them the intelligence through which they can come to Me.
