"If you want Kṛṣṇa, if you want God, then you don't try to follow all these processes (karma, jñāna and yoga). You just try to follow devotional service to the Lord, bhakti, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That will please Kṛṣṇa. Then by His pleasing, He will reveal to you. He will reveal to you. God being pleased with your sincere service and love, He will let you know. Just like Arjuna is being instructed by the Supreme Lord, and He says, 'My dear Arjuna, I am speaking to you the most confidential part of knowledge.' So if we become friends like Arjuna to Kṛṣṇa, then Kṛṣṇa will reveal Himself, as He is revealing Himself, 'I am this, I am that, I am this, I am that.' So if you actually want to reestablish your lost relationship with Kṛṣṇa and God, then you have to adopt this Kṛṣṇa consciousness and nothing more."
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, New York, November 27, 1966)
