BHAKHYOGA
(Discourses 9-11)

The Sun that gives life and warmth is there, but the Sun that scorches and burns is also there. A myriad forms are worshipping Him, and myriad forms are being devoured in His volcanic flame. And now the great war-lords are seen rushing to their doom in that divine conflagration like so many moths in a flame.

Can the Lord be terror incarnate? The eye would for a while let the tongue express its terror. 'Not only Terror incarnate, am 1/ is the answer. 'I am the very Doom. I have incarnated Myself for this very purpose. The warlords, the prospect of whose death dismayed and made thee break out in a lament, are already devoured by Me. Be thou but an instrument.' The first flashlight thrown on Arjuna's mind was in the second discourse with a revelation of Imperishable Self.
