Summary of #ShriBhagwadGita Adhyay 11- विश्वरूपदर्शनयोग

In this chapter, Shri Krishna shows Arjuna his(Krishna's) "ultimate form".Krishna gives him a glimpse of the incredible vastness he encompasses,showing him the "whole universe" enfolded in his body.(1/6)

And to witness the ultimate form, Krishna gave him Divya Dhrasti(divine vision). The real form of Krishna is terrifying as Krishna reveals a self with billions of heads, fangs and weapons.(2/6)

After witnessing this terrifying form of Krishna Arjuna asked him "who are you?" To which Krishna responds that he is the death and that Arjuna must fight in the battle because the kauravas will die regardless. Krishna has already killed them, Arjuna is merely the medium.(3/6)

Arjuna's response is a mixture of awe, love and fear because he has moved from an intellectual to an experiential understanding of krishna's teaching. However, even this form of him doesn't fully encompasses his unmanifest form.(4/6)

Krishna tells arjuna,
"इहैकस्थं जगत्कृत्स्नं पश्याद्य सचराचरम् |
मम देहे गुडाकेश यच्चान्यद्द्रष्टुमिच्छसि ||"

"The entire universe, with everything moving and non-moving, is assembled together in my universal form(continue...)"(5.1/6)

"Whatever else you wish to see, observe it all within this universal form of me". Each and every living and non living thing resides in the universal form of Krishna, thus whatever arjuna desires to see, he will find it in the universal form of Krishna.(5.2/6)

Shri Krishna concludes,
"मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्त: सङ्गवर्जित:|
निर्वैर: सर्वभूतेषु य: स मामेति पाण्डव ||"

"Those who perform all their duties for my sake, who depend upon me and are devoted to me,who are free from attachment and are without malice towards all beings.."(6.1/6)

"..such devotees certainly come to me."Thus, when we begin to see everything as Krishna, and see ourselves as a part of him, we will not generate feelings of dislike towards anyone or anything and hence, we will attain krishna(6.2/6)
