Verse 16
The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form
O Lord of the universe, O universal form, I see in Your body many, many arms, bellies, mouths and eyes, expanded everywhere, without limit. I see in You no end, no middle and no beginning.
Context & Meaning
No beginning, no middle, no end. Arjuna cannot find an edge to what he sees. The cosmic form is literally infinite — not poetically infinite, not metaphorically vast, but without boundary in any direction. The ordinary mind finds no purchase, no reference point. This is the experience of the truly boundless.
