Krishna, after ending the revelation of its universal form, which is rare to see, teaches that one cannot achieve this vision through sacrifice, or other similar practices. Now the Lord indicates that his two-armed form is even more secret, more difficult to see. We can, strictly speaking, by adding a little devotional service to the various practices that are the study of the Vedas (the original sacred scriptures), severe asceticism, philosophical speculation, etc., see the universal form of the Lord; but without devotional service, it is impossible to see this radiant form with two arms. Now, beyond this universal form is the “human” form of Krishna, its form with two arms; and the latter is even more difficult to know, even for celestial beings as powerful as Brahma, or Siva. All these heavenly beings desire to see the Lord in this two-armed form.

It must be understood that disparaging Krishna in its two-armed form can only be done by a fool of the most common species, since celestial beings of the rank of Brahma and Siva aspire to see the Lord in this same form absolute primordial. His body is entirely spiritual, all of bliss and eternity, this body is nothing material. For those who seek to know Him, Krishna remains a problem because they know nothing about Him. Indeed, those who study the sacred writings with material eyes think that God is only an important historical figure, or a philosopher of vast learning. They don’t see that He’s nothing like an ordinary man. Some recognize his immense power, but believe that He must nevertheless have taken on a material body. They thus come to the conclusion that Absolute Truth is impersonal, formless, that Krishna, God is only a borrowed personal aspect, related to material nature. This is to develop a material concept of the Supreme Lord, which is obviously wrong.

We have exposed it many times, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person is veiled by his internal power. He is entirely spiritual, his body and his Soul are One, without any difference. It cannot be seen by everyone. Only he can see and admire the soul to which He reveals himself. Only the submissive soul can truly know the Absolute Truth, Krishna, in its real, primordial, personal form with two arms. For spiritualists constantly engaged in Krishna consciousness, in the service of love and devotion offered to the Lord, their spiritual eyes open and Krishna is revealed to them. Such a revelation is not even accessible to celestial beings, who find it difficult to know Krishna. The most advanced among them always aspire to see it in its two-arm form. If it is extremely difficult to see the universal form of Krishna, a favor which is not granted to everyone, but even greater is the difficulty that one experiences in knowing one's personal form, that with two arms that only submissive souls, who have abandoned themselves to Krishna and who serve him with love and devotion, can see permanently and for eternity in his kingdom.
