Chapter-11
The Universal Form
3. Even as you have declared yourself to be, O Supreme Lord, I desire to see your form Divine, O Supreme Person. Then Arjuna said, O Lord, your speech has given me assurance and contentment. By recourse to the universal form, you create this panorama of the world and dissolve it. You call it your original form and by resorting to it, you assume incarnations with two or four hands and descend to the world for performing God’s work. Then after you have finished, you rest on the Sea of Milk and your work of incarnations in the form of the fish and tortoise, you resume this original form. Of this the Upanishads sing praises, and the yogis meditate upon it by turning the mind inwards. Sages like Sanaka remain embracing it in a mystic union (81-85). We have been hearing so much about it all these years. I am most eager, O Lord to see this universal form. Since you have pressed me to express my desire without any reserve. I tell you that this is the sole object of my desire. I long to see your universal form with my own eyes. |
