Hare Krishna

[Akincana Krishna dasa]

Who said He "requires" worship?

I'm under the impression that your religion teaches that worship of Krishna is required to know Krishna, that the more you worship him, the more he reveals. But truth can simply be taught and knowledge can simply be given, without worship. So the question again, why does Krishna require worship?

There's theoretical knowledge, and experiential knowledge. I can know about Krishna through a book, but that's not the same as meeting Him and spending time with Him.
