1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darsana Yoga - Sloka 5
Shri Bhagavan Uvacha
Pashya me partha rupani shata shato sahasra shah I
Nana vidhani divyani nana varna akriti ni cha II sloka 5
श्री भगवान उवाच
पश्य मे पार्थ रूपाणि शत शतो सहस्र शः I
नाना विधानि दिव्यानि नाना वर्ण आकृति नि च II श्लोक 5
The Blessed Lord said
Behold my forms, O Partha, by hundreds and thousands, manifold and divine and of multi-colours and shapes.
Things and beings seemingly extraneous to Iswara are not so in fact. Naught exists outside the pale of the lord. Offshoots as they are of his immensity, the divine element is in one and all of them. It is going to be revealed shortly that the diversities in form, colour, nature and existence are all really the manifestations of the cosmic entity who is one without a second.
By asking Arjuna to behold his macro-cosmic form, the lord recognises his worthiness for that holy communion.
It is Narayana who has become the all. Man, all creatures, rishis, the wicked people, whatever is Narayana. Narayana sports in multiple forms, displaying his glory in all these forms.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
