However, one can satisfy the Lord simply by devotional service. Gajendra did this, and thus the Lord was satisfied with him.</p>

As stated in Bhagavad-gītā, only by devotional service can the Lord be known (bhaktyā mām abhijānāti ([[Vanisource:BG 18.55 (1972)|BG 18.55]])). Unless the Lord is pleased by the service of a devotee, the Lord does not reveal Himself (nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yoga-māyā-samāvṛtaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.25 (1972)|BG 7.25]])). This is the verdict of all śāstras. Neither by speculation nor by material qualifications can one understand or approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead.</p>
