The only way to see the Lord face to face

The devotee can see the Supreme Lord face to face, but the jnani, the

empiric philosopher or yogi cannot. They cannot be elevated to the

positions of associates of the Lord. There is no evidence in the

scriptures stating that by cultivating knowledge or worshiping the

impersonal Brahman one can become a personal associate of the Supreme

Personality of Godhead. Nor by executing the yogic principles can one

become an associate of the Supreme Godhead.
