(The Yoga of Divine Glories)
But the conversation has risen far above war.
Arjuna, now filled with reverence, speaks:
“O Krishna, I accept You as the Supreme Brahman,
the ultimate abode, the eternal Divine.”
His doubt is gone.
Now he longs to understand more.
And Krishna begins to reveal His glory.
The Source of All
Krishna declares:
“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds.
Everything emanates from Me.”
The wise, knowing this, worship Him with devotion.
Their minds dwell in Him.
Their hearts rejoice in Him.
Their conversations revolve around Him.
Such devotees live in joy.
The Divine Spark in All Things
Arjuna asks:
“How shall I know You?
In what forms do You dwell?”
Krishna responds by revealing His Vibhutis — divine manifestations.
Among lights — He is the sun.
Among stars — the moon.
Among mountains — Meru.
Among rivers — the Ganga.
Among warriors — Rama.
Among weapons — the thunderbolt.
Among seasons — spring.
In every category of greatness,
He is the highest expression.
Not separate from creation —
but shining through it.
The Inner Guide
Krishna also reveals something intimate:
“I am seated in the heart of all beings.”
He is memory.
Knowledge.
Even forgetfulness.
He is the intelligence of the intelligent.
The strength of the strong — free from desire.
Nothing exists without Him.
The Endless Glory
After listing countless manifestations, Krishna concludes:
“What need is there for all this detail, Arjuna?
With a single fragment of Myself,
I pervade and sustain this entire universe.”
The Infinite cannot be fully described.
Even these glories are only glimpses.
Arjuna’s Rising Awe
Arjuna is overwhelmed.
He no longer sees Krishna merely as friend or charioteer.
He sees the cosmic foundation.
Yet —
Hearing is not enough.
Arjuna now longs to see.
To witness the truth directly.
And so he makes a bold request:
“If You think me worthy —
show me Your universal form.”
The air grows heavy.
The moment deepens.
For in the next chapter —
Vision will replace words.
And the world will never look the same again.
