Chapter 11 verse 50
“Sanjay said: Having spoken thus, the compassionate son of vasudeva displayed his personal (four-armed) form again. Then, he further consoled the frightened Arjun by assuming his gentle (two-armed) form.”
Divine cosmic grand form of Bhagwan Krishna was too frightening and majestic for Arjuna to comprehend and feel safe and devotional. Hence upon his request and deep compassion towards his friend and devotee, Bhagwan transitions first to the 4 armed Bhagwan Krishna form which is still worshipped by the devout and the pious and quickly comes back to the 2 armed Krishna who Arjuna is used to seeing. The 2 armed Krishna is Arjuna’s friend, cousin and fellow warrior. Sanatana dharma understands the psychology of the being and offers various ways to know and reach Almighty. Both the form and formless are contained in the monotheistic parabrahmam (Supreme Being) displayed in polytheistic ways to the world of beings. The different forms and even the formless are just manifestations of the body, mind, intellect of the being but the individual soul still resides as part of the Supreme Soul albeit might take eons to merge with that Supreme Being.
