Srila Prabhupada

sakhyam, to make friendship with Him, to consider Kṛṣṇa as your friend. He says . . . even if I do not say that He’s my friend, He says: “I am friend of everyone.” Suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām (BG 5.29). He’s friend of everyone. We don’t want His friendship, but He wants our friendship. He wants us to go back to home, Godhead; we don’t want. So He is more anxious to take us, exactly like the father is more affectionate than the son. That’s a fact.
So He’s the supreme father. So He wants that we may be happy, and therefore He comes to show us. He sends His representative, son. He leaves behind Him books so that we may go back to home, back to Godhead. So sakhyam. He’s always sitting with me, within my heart. I am in the heart, and Paramātmā is also within the heart as friend, to give me advice that “Why you are bothering in this material world? Please come back to home, back to Me.” This is going on.
