II Shree Bhagavaanuvaacha II
paśya me pårtha rūpāņi śataśo tha sahasraśaḥ
nānāvidhāni divyāni nănāvarņākṛtĩni ch
paśyādityānvasünrudrān-aśvinau marutastathā
bahünyadrştapūrvāņi paśyāścaryāņi bhārata
Tab Arjun se Bhagwaan kehne lage
Hajaron saikadon roop dekh ab mere
Divya hain ye roop kayee tarah ke,
Anekon varna aur shaklon vale.
Aditya barah vasu aath dekh,
Gyarah rudra marut unchas dekh.
Kumar ashwini aur kayee roop jo,
Nahi dekhe pehle tu ab dekh vo
The Blessed Lord said:
O Parth! Now behold My celestial forms by hundreds and thousands of different sorts, hues and shapes.
Please fill out the form below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Arjun expressed his desire to see the glorious divine forms of the Lord. The manner was so humble and dedicated that the Lord opened the flood gates of His grace for him. Desire was of a pure kind; it was for having a vision of His divinity; such a desire is also of a divine nature; even then Arjun stated his desire by making it one with the divine desire. If you accept that I am deserving, then bestow the beneficence of having a divine vision of Yours. In fact, this is the manner in which one becomes eligible. The spirit of surrender, purity of desire and gradually even that desire becoming one with that of the Lord, emptiness inside, just emotions prevailing there, the silent thirst! Till the time any desire of ours will remain till then somewhere or the other limitations will persist. Abandon this; be generous, open-hearted, blossom and become empty from inside; experience the open treasure house of the Lord Krishna's beneficence! Keep on experiencing the divine emotions! Associate yourself with this divine state of Arjun. Not in just one form but in several of them that the Lord wants to manifest Himself-
Whatever the forms are, they are due to the Lord. Class, colour and shapes in the primal creator of them, all is the Lord. He can make all the various forms and can manifest Himself too in them; He can be seen in various forms and can also show them in Himself. He is all-powerful and omnipotent; there is nothing which is beyond Him, nothing separate from Him. That is why He has clarified in the beginning, "I do not have just form but see Me in hundreds and thousands of forms!" Not just this but even view all the gods in Me-
That just all of this earth is in the Lord is not so. Even the gods do not have an existence independence of Him. Even their entity is in Him, is due to Him! Twelve Adityas, eight Vasus, eleven Rudras, two Ashwinis, forty-nine Marutgans, all of them, Arjun! You view in My vast body! Not just this, all that you have not seen before that too you can view which will be very startling for you.
That Arjun should not become thoughtful, that there will be some play or sport, drama or there will be lightening in the sky and everything will be visible there! The Lord now clarifies-
