[[Arjun]] had pleaded with the Lord to appear in his four-armed shape. But what does he see when [[Krishna|Krishn]] accedes to his request and appears in the desired form? What else but the human form? In truth, the terms “four-armed” and “many-armed” are used for sages after they have achieved the supreme goal. The two-armed sage-teacher is very much with his loving pupil, but someone from elsewhere remembers, too, and the same sage then, awakened by the Spirit of that power, is transformed into the charioteer who guides the seeker on to the right path. “Arm” is a symbol of action. So our arms function not only externally but also internally. This is the four-armed form. The “conch,” “chakr,” “mace,” and “lotus” borne by Krishn’s four arms are all symbolic, standing respectively for an affirmation of the true goal (conch), commencement of the cycle of attainment (chakr), subduing of the sense (mace), and competence in action that is unblemished and pure (lotus). That is why Arjun views the four-armed Krishn as a human. Rather than meaning that there was some four-armed Krishn, the expression “fourarmed” is but a metaphor for the special mode of action that sages accomplish with their body as well as Soul.

CHAPTER 11
Revelation of The Omnipresent

श्रीभगवानुवाच
सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दुष्टवानसि यन्मम ।
देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिण: ॥52॥

[ “The Lord said, ‘This form of mine which you have seen is the most rare, because even gods ever pine for a view of it.’ ” ]

This placid, benevolent manifestation of Krishn is the most uncommon and even gods yearn to see it. That is to say that it is not possible for all to recognize a sage for what he is. The most revered satsangi Maharajji, the accomplished teacher of my revered teacher Maharajji was one such saint with a truly awakened Soul, but most of the people regarded him as a mad man. Only a very few virtuous men learnt from heavenly signs that he was a sage of noble accomplishment. And only these men then grasped him with all their heart, attained to his metaphysical form, and reached the desired goal. This is what Krishn suggests when he tells Arjun that gods, who have consciously stored their hearts with the treasure of divinity, hanker after a view of his “fourarmed” form. As to whether he can be known by yagya, charity or study of the Ved, Krishn states :
