Šri Caitanya-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā, Ch. 4]
Apart from this, Krṣṇa can eat the food with any one of His transcendental senses. He can eat by seeing the food, or by touching it. Nor should one think that it is necessary for Krṣṇa to eat. He does not become hungry like an ordinary human being; nonetheless, He presents Himself as being hungry, and as such, He can eat everything and anything, regardless of quantity. The philosophy underlying Krṣṇa’s eating is understandable by our transcendental senses. When our senses are purified by constantly being engaged in the devotional service of the Lord, we can understand Krṣṇa’s activities, names, forms, qualities, pastimes, and entourage.
ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi 
    na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ 
    sevonmukhe hi jihvādau 
    svayam eva sphuraty adah
“No one can understand Krṣṇa by the blunt material senses. But He reveals Himself to the devotees, being pleased with them for their transcendental loving service unto Him.” ( Bh.r.s.  1.2.234) The devotees understand Krṣṇa through revelation. It is not possible for a mundane scholar to understand Krṣṇa and His pastimes through research work on the nondevotional platform.

একদিনের উদ্‌যোগে ঐছে মহোৎসব কৈল । গোপাল-প্রভাবে হয়, অক্স না জানিল ॥ ৭৯ ॥
