Someone may have worshiped a particular demigod with faith for many years.
Now having come to proper understanding based on knowledge from scriptures and guidance from bona fide acharyas,he has decided to become a devotee of Lord Krishna.
For most of such people, such a transition is very painful.

Their heart is given to someone and now their intelligence wants them to worship someone else.

To keep matters simple and pain free, one could still maintain a relationship with the particular demigod although now it may be in a different light.
Before, he would worship the demigod thinking him to be the supreme.

Now, he may continue worshipping the demigod since he has affection for him, yet based on his knowledge of the demigod’s true position, now he sees him as an empowered representative of the Supreme Lord.

Now, his respect for him is based on truth rather than on sentiments, which sometimes may be based on illusory perceptions of the demigod’s grandeur.

Thus, the affectionate relationship with the demigod may continue and simultaneously, the worshiper endeavors to advance in his relationship with the supreme Lord, who is his eternal, well-wishing father.
