Chapter 11
Link:—How Arjuna's delusion was dispelled, is explained by him, in the next verse.
bhavapyayau hi bhutanarh srutau vistaraso maya
tvattah kamalapatraksa mahatmyamapi csvyayam
From You, O lotus-eyed, I have heard in detail, an account of the origin and dissolution of creation and also of Your immortal glory. 2
Comment:-
'Bhavapyayau hi bhutanam srutau vistaraso maya:-The Lord declared, "I am the origin (source) of the entire creation, and in Me again, it dissolves. There is no other source, besides Me" (Gita 7/6-7); "Whatever beings, there are, born of sattva, of rajas or of tamas, know them all, as evolved from Me alone" (7/12); "Diverse feelings, of creatures emanate, from Me alone" (10/4-5); "I am the source of all creation; everything in the world, moves because of Me" (10/8); "I am the beginning, the middle and also the end, of all beings" (10/20); and "I am the beginning and the end and also the middle of all creation" (10/32). So, Arjuna says that he has heard in detail, an account of the origin and dissolution of beings. He means that all the beings evolve from Him, live in Him and merge in Him i.e., He is all in all.
Mahatmyamapi cavyayam:- Arjuna wants to say, that he also heard of His immortal glory, as explained by Him, in the seventh verse of the tenth chapter, that he who knows in reality, His divine power and glory, is endowed with unfaltering Yoga of devotion.
The Lord's glory, has been called immortal, because after knowing His divine glory and power in reality, one is endowed with devotion, which is immortal, because the Lord Himself is immortal, so devotion for Him, should also be immortal.
