Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darasana Yoga - Sloka 7

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of Srimad Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission

The Divine Eye 5-8
1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darsana Yoga - Sloka 7


Iha eka stham jagat krtsnam pashya adhya sacharacharam I
Mama dehe gudakesha yat cha anyata drushtam ichchasi II sloka 7
इह एक स्थम् जगत् क्र्त्सनं पश्य अध्य सचराचरं I 
मम देहे गुडाकेश यत् च अन्यत दृष्टं इच्छसि II श्लोक 7


Behold here today, O Gudakesa, the whole universe of the moving and unmoving, and whatever else you desire to see, all integral of my body.

In Chapter 2 stanza 6, Arjuna raised a doubt whether Pandavas should vanquish Kauravas or vice versa. The answer to this question can now be found self-revealed in the working of the cosmos. The plan and purpose of the universe ever stand self revealed. It is open to the enquirer to get at them whenever he wants.

Are the physical eyes and the ordinary intellect sufficient to cognise the whole of the truth pertaining to the Lord? The answer is given in the next sloka.
