Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 3]
affection;  yāsyethe —shall both obtain;  mat-gatim —My supreme abode;  parām —which is transcendental, beyond this material world.
TRANSLATION
Both of you, husband and wife, constantly think of Me as your son, but always know that I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By thus thinking of Me constantly with love and affection, you will achieve the highest perfection: returning home, back to Godhead.
PURPORT
This instruction by the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His father and mother, who are eternally connected with Him, is especially intended for persons eager to return home, back to Godhead. One should never think of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as an ordinary human being, as nondevotees do.  Kṛṣṇa , the Supreme Personality of Godhead, personally appeared and left His instructions for the benefit of all human society, but fools and rascals unfortunately think of Him as an ordinary human being and twist the instructions of  Bhagavad-gītā  for the satisfaction of their senses. Practically everyone commenting on  Bhagavad-gītā  interprets it for sense gratification. It has become especially fashionable for modern scholars and politicians to interpret  Bhagavad-gītā  as if it were something fictitious, and by their wrong interpretations they are spoiling their own careers and the careers of others. The  Kṛṣṇa  consciousness movement, however, is fighting against this principle of regarding  Kṛṣṇa  as a fictitious person and of accepting that there was no Battle of Kurukṣetra, that everything is symbolic, and that nothing in  Bhagavad-gītā  is true. In any case, if one truly wants to be successful, one can do so by reading the text of  Bhagavad-gītā  as it is. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu especially stressed the instructions of  Bhagavad-gītā :  yāre dekha, tāre kaha ‘kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa . If one wants to achieve the highest success in life, one must accept  Bhagavad-gītā  as spoken by the Supreme Lord. By accepting  Bhagavad-gītā  in this way, all of human society can become perfect and happy.
It is to be noted that because Vasudeva and Devakī would be separated from  Kṛṣṇa  when He was carried to Gokula, the residence of Nanda
