Know about Krishna through vidvat partite, not avidvat-pratiti

Realization through true knowledge (vidvat pratiti) may be described as realization under vidya sakti (knowledge potency of the Lord) , and understanding without knowledge (avidvat pratiti) may be described as an understanding of the Lord under ignorance.

If Krsna is understood through avidvat pratiti, many controversies arise. If he is understood through vidvat pratiti, there is no place for disagreements. Those interested in spiritual development should immediately obtain vidvat pratiti. What is the point in understanding through avidvat pratiti, falling into argument and confusion, and losing the goal of life. Some idea about vidvat pratiti has been given. Vidvat pratiti is possible for those persons who give up material conceptions and can conceive of spirit. They can then perceive Krsna with their spiritual eyes, hear his pastimes with their spiritual ear, and relish Krsna completely with their spiritual taste buds. Krsna’s pastimes are completely non-material. Though Krsna can by his inconceivable potency become the object for the material eye, by nature he is not perceivable by material senses. When Krsna descends and reveals his pastimes to the material senses, only the person with vidvat pratiti attains real contact with the Lord.
