1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darsana Yoga - Sloka 40

Namah purastat ath prushthatah te namah astu te sarvatah eva sarva I

Ananta virya amita vikramah tvam sarvam samapnoshi tatah asti sarvah II sloka 40

नमः  पुरुस्तात अथ पृष्ठतः ते नमः अस्तु ते सर्वतः एव सर्व I

अनन्त वीर्य अमित विक्रमः त्वं सर्वं समाप्नोषि ततः अस्ति सर्वः II श्लोक 40

Salutation to you before, Salutation to you behind, Salutation  to you on every side, O All! Infinite in might and immeasurable in strength, you pervade all and therefore you are all.

The question of seeking God is a matter of seeing and recognising him in everything and everywhere. Arjuna has now risen to this exalted position.

The Lord is revealing his omnipotence exuberantly through the working of the universe. A reverent recognition of it is a form of adoration offered to almighty. Nay man has nothing more to do. The power and resources he is gifted with have all come from god. 

Just as a fruit is inclusive of the pulp, seed and skin, Iswara is inclusive of the universe and the beings in it. In the act of adoration of the lord, the act of upholding and propitiating the beings is included. 

Now that Arjuna has known Krishna in his true perspective, does he revise his relationship? The answer come sin his own words in the next slokas
