Verse 12

The Yoga of Divine Glories

Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ultimate abode, the purest, the Absolute Truth. You are the eternal, transcendental, original person, the unborn, the greatest.

Context & Meaning

Arjuna erupts in recognition and praise. This is not a student answering an exam — it is a human heart overwhelmed by the direct presence of the Divine. His words are not theology but testimony: "You are all this. I see it now." The devotee has become the knower.

Vishishtadvaita

Arjuna's declaration here is the practical fruit of all the teaching so far. When the knowledge of the Divine enters the heart as living recognition, it pours out as praise. This is bhakti expressing itself as jñāna, and jñāna completing itself as bhakti.
