Chapter-11
The Universal Form
The blessed Lord said: 47. By way of grace, O Arjuna, I have revealed to you, through My power of Yoga, the Supreme Cosmic form, which is effulgent, infinite and primeval, and which none else has seen before. At these words of Arjuna, the Lord was amazed and said. “I have never met a thoughtless person like you. You have witnessed a rare vision of unsurpassed grandeur; but you do not seem to exult in it. Instead you do not know that you are talking like an imprudent person out of fright (606-610). When I am propitious to a devotee, I bestow upon him only external gifts. But if I do not come across a truly devoted soul, to whom can I divulge the secret of My heart? But for your sake, I have wrought this universal form by bringing together all things in this world. I do not know how enchanted I am, by your devotional love, as a result of which, I have unfolded before the world, the colours of My most mysterious form. This form of Mine, which is beyond the reach of Maya, is limitless and from it has emanated Krishna and other incarnations. This form consists of the splendour of knowledge and is all-pervasive. It has no end and it is the firm foundation of the universe (611-615). No one except yourself has set his eyes on it or even heard about it, because it cannot be attained by any external means.” |
