Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 11 verse 2-3

 Chapter 11 verse 2-3 

I have heard from you in detail about the appearance and disappearance of all living beings, O lotus-eyed one, and also about your eternal majesty. O Supreme Lord, you are precisely what you declare yourself to be. Now I desire to see your divine cosmic form, O greatest of persons.” 

Arjuna summarizes what he had heard from Lord Krishna so far and reiterates that he is the controller of all living beings and that his prowess is infinite. Having heard all the glories of the Lord and being convinced that Lord Krishna is Supreme Being Himself, Arjuna requests him to show his divine cosmic form. Although Vedas and Vedanta stipulate that Brahman is both form and formless, mere mortals cannot easily comprehend the formless divine and would like to imagine Lord in human form. Sanatana dharma understands this psyche very well and lets devotees and followers worship Lord in various forms while knowing that all these polytheistic forms converge to the monotheistic God principle. Sanatana dharma is the most evolved scientific and efficient way of life for time immemorial.
