So, that is why I mentioned that bhakti is not only personal but simultaneously social too. How will you understand the different qualities of Krsna, the 64 qualities of Krsna. For each quality there is a pastime in Krsna book, Krsna Lila by reading which we can understand how He manifested those qualities. And unless that you cannot understand Krsna fully. If you do not understand Krsna's guna then you have not understood Krsna fully. So, if you dont know Krsna fully then how will you dedicate yourselves to Krsna fully? It means that to understand a person it is very important that you understand the incidents of that person, his dealings, his interactions. That is why if you want to understand Krsna fully then you cannot ever let go of His devotees. Why? Without His devotees, how will He interact? And if He doesn't interact then you would not know Krsna fully. In order to know Krsna fully we should always arrange in such a way that Krsna comes closer to His devotees. And the more we facilitate Krsna coming closer to His devotees, the more He gets a chance to exhibit His qualities through His dealings externally and the internal feelings get manifested and get shaped only when they come out as the dealings.
