TRANSLATION
Those whose nature is demoniac cannot know Krishna at any time, but He cannot hide Himself from His pure devotees.

People who develop the nature of asuras like Rāvana and Hiranyakaśipu can never know Krishna, the Personality of Godhead, by challenging the authority of Godhead. But Śrī Krishna cannot hide Himself from His pure devotees.
