PURPORT
The Personality of Godhead although He was not seen but heard only that does not make any difference. The Personality of Godhead produced the four Vedas by His breathing and he is seen and realised through the transcendental sound of the Vedas. Similarly is the Bhagwat Geeta. Geeta is the sound representation of the Lord and there is no difference in identity. The conclusion is that the Lord can be seen and heard persistently by chanting the transcendental sound.
