CHAPTER TEN

Krishna Goes Full God Mode


KRISHNA NOW REVEALS Himself fully.

“I am the source of all.
Everything arises from Me.”

Wise people see this and they worship with love.

He lists signs of His presence:

“I am the soul in all beings.
The beginning, middle, and end.
The mind in the intelligent.
The courage of the brave.”

He keeps going:

“Of mountains, I am Himalaya.
Of rivers, I am the Ganges.
Of seasons, I am spring.
Of animals, I am the lion.”

Everything great, powerful, beautiful, or mysterious, is Him.

He says:

“There is no end to My manifestations.
I sustain the universe with just a fragment of Myself.”

Arjuna is overwhelmed.

“You are everything.
You are beyond knowing.
Please, show Me Your true form.”

Krishna grants him divine sight.

And then, He shows His cosmic form.

Arjuna sees a vision beyond words.

Krishna is infinite.
Countless faces. Countless arms.
Radiant. Blinding. Terrifying.

All beings enter into Him.
Some are born.
Others are devoured.

He is Time.
The destroyer of worlds.

Arjuna trembles.

“I see all kings rushing into Your mouths.
Crushed between Your teeth.”

Krishna speaks:

“I am Time.
The destroyer of all.
None here will escape.
Even without you, they will die.”

He tells Arjuna:

“Rise. Fight.
I have already slain them.
You are the instrument.”

Arjuna bows low.
He worships.

“You are the first.
The last.
The beyond.
I am Yours.
Please, return to your gentle form.”

Krishna does.
The vision ends.

He tells Arjuna:

“Few have seen what you’ve seen.
Even the gods long for this vision.”

The lesson?

“Only through love and devotion can I be truly seen.
Not by study. Not by fear. Not by power.
Only love.”
