PREFACE
VIRAT DARSHAN? ... The phrase may be translated as “vision of the Omnipresent.” It is a God-gifted intuition in a sage’s heart, perceptible only when the Supreme Being stands as a vision within the worshipper.
THE REVERED GOD? ... The supreme goal. The one transcendental God alone is fit for worship. The place where he should be sought for is the realm of heart: and he can be realized. only through the medium of sages (Accomplished teachers) who have attained to that unmanifest state.
Now, out of these, in order to understand Krishn’s form one has to study upto Chapter 3 and by Chapter 13 it will be evident that Krishn was an accomplished sage (yogi). The reality disclosed by the Geeta will be known from Chapter 2 itself, which demonstrates how “eternal” and “truth” are substitutes; but these concepts are also dealt with throughout the poem. The nature of “war” will be clear by Chapter 4 and whatever doubts there are in regard to this subject are all fully resolved by Chapter 11. However, more light is thrown on it upto Chapter 16. One should turn again and again to Chapter 13 for its elaborate account of the sphere-the battlefield-where the “war” is fought.
