CHAPTER 11 Revelation of The Omnipresent This enumeration by Krishn went on through three verses, from 5 to 7. But Arjun’s physical eyes could see none of the glories enumerated by the Lord. All the celestial majesty of God was before his eyes, but they could only see Krishn as a common mortal. Realizing this difficulty of Arjun, Krishn paused and blessed him with the divine vision with which he could behold his true greatness. And then Arjun saw God himself before him. He had thus a direct and real perception of God. Overwhelmed by terror at what he saw, he began to entreat Krishn most humbly to forgive his wrongs which are not truly wrongs. He thought he had offended him by addressing him as “Krishn,” “Yadav,” and “friend.” As these were no wrongs, Krishn readily showed his mercy and resumed his pleasing and benevolent form in deference to Arjun’s request. He also spoke words of comfort and encouragement to him.
