When Krsna speaks, we must understand that whatever He says is not limited but is universally true. He claims to be the father of all living entitites-even the animals, the aquatics, the trees, plants, worms, birds and bees are all claimed to be His sons. Sri Krsna asserts that the entire universe is illusioned by the interactions of the three qualities of material nature, and we are under the spell of that illusion; therefore we cannot understand what God is .
What is the nature of this illusion, and how can it be overcome? That is also explained in Bhagavadgita:
daivi hy esa gunamayi
mama maya duratyaya
mam eva ye prapadyante
mayam etam taranti te
"This deivine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered to Me can easily cross beyond it." (Bg. 7.14)
