The message of Godhead is always like nectar to the devotees, but it is
just the opposite to the nondevotees. Sugar candy is always sweet to a healthy man, but it tastes very bitter to persons suffering from jaundice.

status quo, manifestation of brahma from garbhodakasayi vishnu
SB 3.8.19
Lord Brahmä, thus contemplating, entered the water through the channel of the stem of the lotus. But in spite of entering the stem and going nearer to the navel of Viñëu, he could not trace out the root.
PURPORT
By dint of one's personal endeavor one may go nearer to the Lord, but without the Lord's mercy one cannot reach the ultimate point. Such understanding of the Lord is possible only by devotional service, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gétä (18.55): bhaktyä mäm abhijänäti yävän yaç cäsmi tattvataù.
SB 3.8.20
O Vidura, while searching in that way about his existence, Brahmä reached his ultimate time, which is the eternal wheel in the hand of Viñëu and which generates fear in the mind of the living entity like the fear of death.
SB 3.8.21
Thereafter, being unable to achieve the desired destination, he retired from such searching and came back again to the top of the lotus. Thus, controlling all objectives, he concentrated his mind on the Supreme Lord.
PURPORT
Samädhi involves concentrating the mind upon the supreme cause of all, even if one is unaware of whether His actual nature is personal, impersonal or localized. Concentration of the mind on the Supreme is certainly a form of devotional service. To cease from personal sense endeavors and to concentrate on the supreme cause is a sign of self-surrender, and when self-surrender is present, that is a sure sign of devotional service. Each and every living entity needs to engage in devotional service to the Lord if he wishes to understand the ultimate cause of his existence.

SB 10.10.33
O Lord, whose glories are covered by Your own energy, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are Saìkarñaëa, the origin of creation, and You are Väsudeva, the origin of the caturvyüha. Because You are everything and are therefore the Supreme Brahman, we simply offer our respectful obeisances unto You.
PURPORT
Instead of trying to understand Krishna in detail, it is better to offer our respectful obeisances unto Him, for He is the origin of everything and He is everything. Because we are covered by the material modes of nature, He is very difficult for us to understand unless He reveals Himself to us. Therefore it is better for us to acknowledge that He is everything and offer obeisances unto His lotus feet.
