Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 11 verse 49

 Chapter 11 verse 49 

“Be neither afraid nor bewildered on seeing this terrible form of mine. Be free from fear and with a cheerful heart, behold me once again in my personal form.” 

Arjuna is being reassured by Bhagwan not to be afraid or bewildered by His cosmic form and that he afforded this vision of His not to scare him but to bless him with Grace not easily obtained by mere mortals. Fear and anger are two sides of the coin originating from expectations and association of the soul with the body and mind. Arjuna had a particular expectation of the divine cosmic form and was not expecting to see a dreadful form. Expectation of particular happening in future is root cause of fear or anger. Bhagwan shows immense compassion towards Arjuna to help him overcome his fear and inhibitions to prod forward on this path to righteous karma uploading Dharma.
