Chapter-10
The Divine Manifestation
2. The host of celestial beings does not know My origin nor do the great seers. I am the origin of the celestial beings and of all the great seers. The Vedas became confounded trying to know My essence; the mind and vital breath lost their nerve in trying to reach Me and the sun and moon were eclipsed before My splendour, even before the night had set in. As the fetus in the womb cannot gauge its mother’s age, so all these gods cannot know Me (61-65). Just as aquatic creatures cannot fathom the sea, or the flies cannot cross over the sky, so the wisdom of the sages cannot penetrate into My being. Many ages have rolled on, in the man’s attempts to delve into My mysteries as to who I am, how great, of what origin and My where about. Because, O Arjuna both the gods and the great sages, much less all the living beings find it difficult to know Me, as I am their origin.
