Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 11 Revelation of The Omnipresent At the beginning of the chapter Arjun admitted to Krishn that his delusions were wiped out by the kind words with which he had revealed his manifold glories to him. Yet, since Krishn had said earlier that he was all-pervading, Arjun also wished to have a direct vision of his magnificence. He requested the Yogeshwar to show him his universal, imperishable form if it was within the power of his mortal eyes to behold such a manifestation. As Arjun is his beloved friend and a most faithful devotee, Krishn gladly acceded to his request. After having assumed his universal form, Krishn told Arjun to behold in him celestial beings like the seven immortal sages* [*Mareechi, Angiras, Pulgatya, Pulah, Kratu, and Vasishtha. The seven sages, too, stand for the seven exercises or steps or attributes of yog, by mastering which the seeker attains to the state of ultimate accomplishment.] and sages who had been in yet earlier times, and Brahma and Vishnu. Arjun’s notice was thus further drawn to the allpervading majesty of God. Summing up his exhortations, Krishn told Arjun how at one moment and at one place he could behold in him the whole animate as well as inanimate world, and also whatever else he was curious to know.
