About this item
Thus Lord Krishna displayed His four-armed form, and at last He showed His two-armed form, thus encouraging the fearful Arjuna.
When Arjuna saw Krishna in His original form, he said, "O Krishna, seeing this humanlike form, so very beautiful, I am now composed in mind, and I am restored to my original nature."
Lord Krishna replied, "My dear Arjuna, this form of Mine you are now seeing is very difficult to behold. Even the demigods are ever seeking the opportunity to see this form, which is so dear. The form you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am.
"My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding."
