well ......He can only answer what pleases HIM
Many people when introducing them or in About Me section write
" if you want to know me read my so & so BLOG "
TO know Krishna One has to access his BLOG...
Srimad Bhagavatam & other puranas & histories like Ramayana & Mahabharata
is like Krishnas Blog :-)
Lets get insights from HIS blog to understand HIM.
There is a very nice incident from Mahabharata where in Duryodhana is trying to please Krishna by inviting him to dinner but Krishna refuses . Following is the conversation
===================================================
Struggling to control his anger, Duryodhana replied, “It is not befitting that You treat us so, O Madhusudana. Whether Your objects are achieved or not we are bent upon pleasing You with our hospitality. You have denied us that opportunity with no good reason, O best of men. We feel no enmity toward You and therefore cannot understand why You snub us in this way.”
Krsna was grave. “I never abandon virtue from motives of desire, anger, hate or attachment. One should eat another’s food if there is love between them or if he is in distress. O King, you do not please Me and I am not in distress. For no reason you have borne malice toward the Pandavas from their childhood. Your cousins are virtuous and devoted to the good of all beings. Whoever bears malice for such blameless men bears malice toward Me. He who follows the virtuous follows Me. Know that I am merged in the Pandavas and cannot be separated from them.”
==============================================
Instead Krishna goes to Viduras house & has simple food there
some say he was offered a banana or simple vegetable
Krishna is pleased by Love & affection of HIS devotee
He confirms this in Bhagavad Gita 9.26
9.26
patraḿ puṣpaḿ phalaḿ toyaḿ
yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaḿ bhakty-upahṛtam
aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
TRANSLATION
If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.
In the Purport Srila Prabhupad writes.................
Kṛṣṇa wants only loving service and nothing more. Kṛṣṇa accepts even a little flower from His pure devotee. He does not want any kind of offering from a nondevotee. He is not in need of anything from anyone, because He is self-sufficient, and yet He accepts the offering of His devotee in an exchange of love and affection.
No other condition, such as becoming a brahmana. a learned scholar, a very rich man or a great philosopher, can induce Kṛṣṇa to accept some offering. Without the basic principle ofbhakti, nothing can induce the Lord to agree to accept anything from anyone. Bhakti is never causal. The process is eternal. It is direct action in service to the absolute whole.
Even trying to know Krishna fully is like putting Krishna under the microscope of our intelligence or imagination, that also is not bhakti ----- it is like trying to know him fully & then
control him ------ That is not bhakti
a rich person cannot oblige Krishna who is supremely rich
Krishna is the one has the 6 opulences in full
ie all-knowledgeable
all-strength
all-fame
all-wealth
all- beauty
all-renunciation
So anybody trying to appease Krishna simply because he has a small quantity of any one of the
above 6 opulence is NOT Bhakti . On the strength of above opulence One cannot force or oblige Krishna
It is only through Bhakti ie devotional service
& devotional service means how much devoted we are to Krishna ?
how much loyal are we to Krishna ?
How much time & energy we putting in Krishna ?
The gopis were completely Loyal to Krishna & put their complete time & energy into Krishna
so they are the highest devotees of the Lord
A great learned Uddhava when saw this quality of the gopis he desired to be the grass in vraja to
get the dust of Gopis
They followed a simple formula : Donot try to Know Krishna ....Simply try to Love Krishna
Simply put your heart in serving Krishna & everything will be revealed by the mercy of Krishna
Donot try to know Krishna in a way to control him
but know him to be the most Sweet master , a master who is very different from the masters whom we encounter in this material world
& Krishna himself confirms in Srimad Bhagavatam
11.14.20

TRANSLATION
My dear Uddhava, the unalloyed devotional service rendered to Me by My devotees brings Me under their control. I cannot be thus controlled by those engaged in mystic yoga, Sāńkhya philosophy, pious work, Vedic study, austerity or renunciation.
