Chapter 11 verse 51
“Arjuna said: O Shree Krishna, seeing your gentle human form (two-armed), I have regained my composure and my mind is restored to normal.”
A person obtains the highest possible divine vision of the
Supreme Universal entity-Bhagwan and he is terrified at that vision. There is a
saying “watch what you wish for since it might come true”. As well, as long as
a human being has desires for something particular in their bosom, both anger
and fear take center stage. In this case, Arjuna asked for that divine cosmic
form from Bhagwan Krishna not knowing what he is going to see with divine
vision given to him by the Lord. He probably was expecting something more
pleasing to the eye, mind and intellect. Instead he was given a vision of the
stark reality of the Universe and that several of his friends and relatives
were about to perish and Arjuna himself is just an instrument of all these
future happenings. Also surrendering completing is important to fully accept
whatever is going to come our ways. I am not sure Arjuna has fully surrendered
his body, mind and intellect to Bhagwan Krishna yet. This is a huge wakeup call
that it is important to be ready for His Grace and get over the hurdle and
attain enlightenment when presented the opportunity. This is the classic saying
that great things happen when opportunity meets readiness. Let us all be ready for his GRACE!!!
