This is how a devotee becomes detached. He becomes attached to Krishna. Only a devotee can be attached to Krishna; He can never be known by nondevotees. In order to become attached to Krishna, we must know something about Him. Just like if we want to develop love for somebody, then how can we love somebody if we don’t know anything about them?. Obviously love is developed by understanding how wonderful a person is. How he deals with us, and deals with others, and how is his behavior, his likes and dislikes? So in order to develop our attachment to Krishna, we must understand that we must learn something about Krishna.
