“To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.” (Bg. 10.10)
The  Vedas  are considered to have been spoken by the Supreme Lord. They were first realized by Brahmā, who is the first created being within the universe ( tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye ). Our process is to receive knowledge through the  paramparā  system, from Kṛṣṇa to Brahmā, to Nārada, Vyāsa, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the six Gosvāmīs. By disciplic succession, Lord Brahmā was enlightened from within by the original person, Kṛṣṇa. Our knowledge is fully perfect due to being handed from master to disciple. A Vaiṣṇava is always engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, and as such neither  karmīs  nor  jñānīs  can understand the activities of a Vaiṣṇava. It is said,  vaiṣṇavera kriyā-mudrā vijñe nā bujhaya : even the most learned man depending on direct perception of knowledge cannot understand the activities of a Vaiṣṇava. After being initiated into Vaiṣṇavism by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Bhaṭṭācārya realized what a mistake he had made in trying to understand Rāmānanda Rāya, who was very learned and whose endeavors were all directed to rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord.
