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

Bhagavad Gita 11.43

pitāsi lokasya carācarasya tvamasya pūjyaśca gururgarīyān | na tvatsamo'styabhyadhikaḥ kuto'nyo lokatraye'pyapratimaprabhāva ||

You are the father of this world, of all that moves and does not move. You are the one it should worship, and its most venerable teacher. No one in the three worlds is your equal; how could anyone be greater, O you of incomparable power?

Modern context

Father, the one to be worshipped, the greatest teacher. Arjuna names three relationships: one who gives life, one who deserves reverence, one who guides. He has been receiving all three from Krishna in this conversation without fully realising it. Often we only see what someone has been to us when we stop and look at them clearly.
