1 by My own Yoga-power %F+Winfinite primal f+a- universal form Shree Bhagavan said: O Arjuna, being pleased with you, I have shown you, through My own power of Yoga, this supreme, infinite and primal Universal Form, which was not seen before by anyone else than you.N 1147 I in mortal world Zl$-»sacrifice deep study I G: I I austere / penance; O Great Hero of Kurus! In this mortal world, I can not be seen in this Form by anyone else than you, either through the study of Vedas and sacrifices or of rituals, or again through gifts, sacrifices or austere penances.N 1148 28-Sri Krishna Saras
Seeing this dreadful Form of Mine as this, be not be perturbed or perplexed; with the feraless and loving mind, behold onceagain this Form of Mine.-N 1149 1 gentle form i-ftaR. consoled Il Sanjaya said: Having thus spoken to Arjuna, Vasudeva again showed His own Form and the Great-souled One, assuming His gentle Form, consoled him who was terrified.N 1150 q-äaT:-» clear minded Il Arjuna said: O Janardhana! Seeing this gentle human Form of Yours, I am composed, clear minded and restored to my own N 1151 very difficult Il 29-Sri Krishna Saras
Shree Bhagvan said: This Form of Mine which you have seen is exceedingly difficult to perceive. This Form, even the gods are always eager to behold.N 1152 • N 1153 I I I I I by sacrifice AS how you have seen Me in this Form, neither by study Of Vedas, nor by penance, nor by charity, nor by sacrifices can be seen.N 1152: N 1153 • 1 minded [not by other means this Form essence/in reality be entered into Il O Paranthapa, Arjuna! But, by the single minded devotion, this Form of Mine, can be known and seen in reality and also entered into.N 1154 Regarding devotion, Shankara says: NO doubt, Of the means available for liberating ourselves, the most substantial hardware is Bhnkti; and identifying ourselves with the Self is called Bhnkti. " Identifying is the truest measure of Love. The devotee. forgetting his own individual existence and, in his love. identifying to become one with his beloved Lord is the culmination of Divine Love. The Vcdnntic student who is the seeker of the Self, is spiritually obliged to renounce all his abject (miserable/ low) identification with his matter vestures and to discover his true nature to be the Self. Only those who are thus capable of identifying themselves with the One unifying Truth that holds together, in its web-of-love. the plurality. can experience. "ME IN THIS FASHION" in my Cosmic Form. e ree s ages In w IC rea Isa Ion 0 ru comes 0 A definite intellectual knowledge Of the goal and the path is the beginning Of a seeker's pilgrimage TO KNOW. Next comes the seeker's attempt to masticate (chevv) the idea intellectually understood, through his own personal reflection upon the information which he has already gathered TO SEE. Having thus 'known' and 'seen' the goal, thereafter, the seeker, through the process Of detachment from the 30-Sri Krishna Saras
false and attachment to the Real, comes to experience the Truth as no object other than himelf TO ENTER. By the term 'entering,' it is also indicated that the fulfilled seeker becomes the very essence Of the sought. The deamer, suffering from sorrows Of the dream, ends it all, when he no more sees, but "enters" the waking-state, himself to become the waker q: q: who works for My sake at Me as Supreme/depending on Me devoted to Me free from attachment I no enmity reaches Me Il O Pandava! He who works for My sake, depends on Me(looks upon Me as Supreme), is devoted to Me, free from attachment and bears no enmity towards all beings, reaches Me.N 1155 Thus, when the whole scheme is re-evaluated, we can find in it a logic, quite acceptable and perfectly psychological. Each subsequent item in the scheme is beautifully supported and nourished by the previous one. From this stanza. it is evident that the spiritual seeker's great pilgimage starts with God-dedicated activites. Soon, the God principle Itself becomes his very goal in life. He will develop, in himself, a consummate liking for this glorious goal. Naturally, all his other finite attachments with the world-of-objects will end, and at last, he will come to contact the Self, he recognises himself everwhere, in everything, and so, in him there cannot be any sense of enmity at all.LOVE FAR ALL AND HATRED FOR NONE can be considered the Geeta 'touch-stone' to know the quality of realisation and intensity Of experience, a seeker has gained through his Sadhana Thus, in the Upanishad Of the glorious Bhagavad-Geetha, in the Science Of Eternal (Brahma), in the Scripture Of Yoga, in the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna, the eleventh chapter(discourse) ends entitled "The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form" 31-Sri Krishna Saras
