Vedanta ultimately is explaining reality in completeness, any other philosophy is trying to explain reality but Vedantic view is the most complete and gives the most comprehensive description of reality (krsnas tu bhagavān svayam). According to everyone’s common understanding Krishna is Vishnu’s avatar, but only Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was the first who said that Krishna is the source of all avatars, because nobody else manifested the potency to that extend.
In one split second Krishna can manifest unlimited spiritual and material universes and at the same time He is so sweet! Aishwarya mood is the mood when God only manifests His power. In madhurya mood either manifesting power or not manifesting power, He is at the same time at His human-like mood. It makes Krishna Bhagavan svayam. If we really understand this, our heart will automatically be cleansed.
Because of our material contamination which is there in our consciousness, we don’t feel attraction to Krishna. If we really understand who Krishna is, the desire to be with Him will be very natural.
