संदर्भ में पढ़ेंThis means that the Lord becomes visible by His own wish. The Supreme Lord
Himself declares (Bhagavad-gītā 7.24):

manyante mām abuddhayaḥ
paraṁ bhāvam ajānanto

"Unintelligent men, who do not know Me perfectly, think that I, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, was impersonal before and have now assumed this
personality. Due to their small knowledge, they do not know My higher nature,
which is imperishable and supreme."*
Because the Lord becomes visible in response to His devotees' love, that does
not mean that He is not also all-pervading, present within everything. He does
both these actions by the power of His own internal potency. However, to they
who do not love Him, He presents only a reflection or a shadow of Himself. The
Lord Himself affirms (Bhagavad-gītā 7.25):

yogamāyā-samāvṛtaḥ
"I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by
My internal potency."*

qualities, He appears terrible and ferocious to they who have no love for Him.
Therefore to they who do not love Him He remains invisible.
