Chapter 11 verse 4
“O Lord of all mystic powers, if you think I am strong enough to behold it, and then kindly reveal that imperishable cosmic form to me.”
Arjuna humbly requests Lord Krishna to reveal his divine cosmic form if he feels that he is worthy of that darshan. There are 2 things I want to illustrate here. First is that Arjuna is an incarnation of nara and narayana and has led many righteous previous lives to beget this life with the supreme being Himself. So he is not in the presence of the Lord by happenstance or accident. It is his efforts from all previous lives, current life and Grace of the Lord. Second, his humility and surrender to divine is now complete and that’s clear in his words and affection towards Lord Krishna. These 2 conditions are the ones which will help Arjuna achieve this darshan he is seeking.
Good Karma and Grace of GoD ! Critical elements! One without the other will not work ! Also he did not just see the vishwaroopa Darshan, was shown!!!!
