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

Bhagavad Gita 11.8

na tu māṃ śakyase draṣṭumanenaiva svacakṣuṣā | divyaṃ dadāmi te cakṣuḥ paśya me yogamaiśvaram ||

But you cannot see me with these eyes of yours. I give you divine sight. Behold my majestic power.

Modern context

Ordinary eyes cannot see this. Krishna gives Arjuna divine sight. The point reaches beyond the story. Some truths cannot be seen with ordinary perception, however sharp. They need a different kind of seeing, which is given, not manufactured. Many people describe moments when they suddenly saw their life, or another person, in a completely new light, and could not say where the new sight came from.
