Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form

Bhagavad Gita 11.16

anekabāhūdaravaktranetraṃ paśyāmi tvāṃ sarvato'nantarūpam | nāntaṃ na madhyaṃ na punastavādiṃ paśyāmi viśveśvara viśvarūpa ||

I see you everywhere, endless in form, with many arms, bellies, mouths, and eyes. I see no end to you, no middle, and no beginning, O Lord of the universe, whose form is the universe.

Modern context

'I see no end to you, no middle, and no beginning.' Everything we know has edges. We understand things by their boundaries: where they start, where they stop. Here is something with no boundaries at all, and the mind cannot find a place to hold it. That is part of why the vision is overwhelming. It takes away the familiar handholds of understanding.
