You are no longer frightened Arjuna, are you? Arjuna said—O Janardana, (who is adored for fulfilment of desires) seeing this gentle human form of Yours, I have become composed and am restored to my normal self again.(51) Sri Bhagavan said—This Form of Mine (with four-arms) which you have seen is very difficult to perceive. Even the gods are always eager to behold this Form. Neither by study of the Vedas, nor by penance, nor by charity nor by ritual can I be seen in this Form as you have seen Me.(52-53) How can You be seen then? O Scorcher of foes, Arjuna, I can be seen in this form (with four-arms) through single-minded devotion. Not only seen but I can also be known in essence and be attained.(54) What is that single-minded devotion, O Lord? O Pãndava, to work for my sake, to be devoted to Me, to depend on Me, to have no attachment to the world and to be free from malice towards all beings is called the single-minded devotion. Such a devout devotee attains Me.(55) |
