Verse 43

The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form

You are the father of this complete cosmic manifestation, of the moving and the nonmoving. You are its worshipable chief, the supreme spiritual master. No one is equal to You, nor can anyone be one with You. How then could there be anyone greater than You within the three worlds, O Lord of incomparable power?

Context & Meaning

The confession of unworthiness transforms into recognition of supreme greatness. You are the father of all creation. You are the highest guru. There is none equal to you, none greater — in all three worlds. And in this recognition, the relationship between Arjuna and Krishna is reborn: not as equals, but as the creature before its creator, the student before the teacher, the son before the father.
