Arjuna: Krishna, listening to what you are saying, I desire to see your true form. If you think that I am eligible to see your true form, please grant me the privilege.
Krishna: Arjuna, you can’t see my true form with your ordinary vision. I am giving you a special vision with which you can see.
Here is all the living world that is inside me. You can see anything you want there.
Sanjaya: After saying this, Krishna let Arjuna see his divine form. Arjuna watched the multiple faces, eyes, ornaments, weapons of Krishna, that spread in every direction. It is like the brightness of a thousand suns at a time. Wondering with immense happiness, Arjuna prayed to Krishna with folded hands.
Arjuna: Krishna, I am seeing the immense form of you everywhere. I am not able to see the beginning and the end of it. I understood that you are the indestructible and preserver of good all the time. I am getting scared looking at your immense form. I am frightened looking at your faces with horns and fire. Oh Krishna! the whole world is getting boiled in your immense brightness. I am not able to comprehend who you are. Please let me know who you are.
Krishna: I am the one who destroys the world when time comes. Do you think that this army will live, just because you don’t fight? They will be destroyed by me anyway, I only ask you to perform your duty and fight.
Sanjaya: Arjuna trembled and shivered listening to the words of Krishna. He spoke with folded hands.
Arjuna: Krishna, you are everywhere, you are inside everything. In short, everything in this universe is filled with you. You are the air we breathe, fire that keeps us warm, water we drink and finally death. You are the creator and also the creator of the creator. Unknowing who you are, I might have joked with you or ridiculed you for fun like a friend. Please accept my apologies for that. I am now both scared and happy. Please come back to your earlier normal form.
Krishna: Arjuna, you are the first to see my true form on earth. No need to be scared of that. Here I am in my pleasant form which you are used to. Remember that, even Gods didn’t have the opportunity to see my true form or reach me. Only by being my devotee and loving every living creature, can a person reach me.
