Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form
Bhagavad Gita 11.3
एवमेतद्यथात्थ त्वमात्मानं परमेश्वर ।
द्रष्टुमिच्छामि ते रूपमैश्वरं पुरुषोत्तम ॥
evametadyathāttha tvamātmānaṃ parameśvara | draṣṭumicchāmi te rūpamaiśvaraṃ puruṣottama ||
It is just as you have described yourself, O supreme Lord. Now I wish to see your divine form, O Supreme Person.
Modern context
Arjuna believes what he has been told, and now he wants to see it. This is a deeply human wish. Hearing about something and seeing it are different kinds of knowing. A person can be told that the ocean is vast, but standing on the shore is another thing entirely. Arjuna has the description; he asks for the experience.
