Verse 52

The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, this form of Mine you are now seeing is very difficult to behold. Even the gods are ever seeking the opportunity to see this form.

Context & Meaning

Krishna names the rarity of what Arjuna has experienced: even the gods constantly long to see this form and rarely receive it. The human being who has just seen what no god can easily attain is now returning to the realm of ordinary perception. But he has been changed by what he has seen. Some visions cannot be un-seen.
