Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Chapter of  Bhagavad-gītā . There it is said that anyone who knows the appearance and activities of the Supreme Lord Krṣṇa becomes freed from the clutches of material nature and goes back home, back to Godhead. Therefore Krṣṇa's transcendental name, form, activities and qualities are not products of this material nature.
“My dear Lord,” Vasudeva continued, “despite all these defects of the conditioned soul, if someone somehow or other comes in contact with devotional service, he achieves this civilized human form of body with developed consciousness and thereby becomes capable of executing further progress in devotional service. And yet, illusioned by the external energy, people generally do not utilize this advantage of the human form of life.
