But how can you perceive "One" in all in good as well as in bad. How can it be discribed by words? Arjuna wanted to realize this by demonstration. But this cosmic form of the supr eme Soul -the Final Truth, can not be seen by ordinary human vision. It requires "Divine Insight", Lord graciously gave such Insightto Arjuna.
YOGA
And what did he see? He saw terror, cruelty, violence and wholesale devastation and destruction emanating from the Supreme Soul in human form which had no begining and no end. In his vision he saw no space between human and earth everything was filled whith the presence of this Supreme Soul. Being terrefied by this sight he asked who was with such a dreadful and disgusting form. Lord replied “कालोरिम लोक क्षयप्रवृध्धो ।” I am “Time" (काल) presently engaged in the destruction of the world. The suggestion to Arjuna was that whether he wished or not the warriors who had gathered there were all due to be destroyed as devised by the Cosmic order as their "Time" was up.
-
Bewildered Arjuna requested the Lord to assume his original human form. Lord did it and told Arjuna that such look at the Cosmic reality cannot be had merely by reading Vedas or performing retuals or even by penances. It can be attained by complete surrender to the Cosmic order.
