Bhagavad Gita 18.55
Krishna speaking to Arjuna
भक्त्या मामभिजानाति यावान्यश्चास्मि तत्त्वतः। ततो मां तत्त्वतो ज्ञात्वा विशते तदनन्तरम् ॥
bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaśh chāsmi tattvataḥ tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā viśhate tad-anantaram
By devotion he knoweth Me in essence, who and what I am; having thus known Me in essence he forthwith entereth into the Supreme.
In plain words: Krishna says that through devotion a person truly knows who and what he is. Knowing him this way, they at once enter the Supreme.
