Kṛṣṇa and the means of attaining Kṛṣṇa is the same. It is not that you take some means and when you attain your ultimate goal you give up the means. No. In Kṛṣṇa's affairs there is nothing given up, just like we are now chanting or any devotee is chanting of Kṛṣṇa's name.

When he actually becomes liberated it is not that the means, chanting means is rejected. The chanting means more and more elevated, the relish, the taste of chanting increases—but chanting goes on. Just like the devotees are worshipping Kṛṣṇa here and when he approaches directly Kṛṣṇaloka the same business will go on.

So Kṛṣṇa and the means of attaining Kṛṣṇa is identical, there is no difference. The chant Hare Krishna and to meet Kṛṣṇa is the same thing, simply we have to follow and then it will be revealed.
