Out of compassion, Kṛṣṇa reveals Himself🔗

The perfect disciple has no doubts about what his Master tells him more about Himself, His glories. He just seeks to know how he should approach his Master, how he should see his Master.

When you are in such deep love with your Master as Arjuna is with Kṛṣṇa, there is nothing to be said. There is nothing even to be heard. Arjuna would have been perfectly happy to sit in silence, in deep meditation upon Kṛṣṇa.

Arjuna knows that there is no need for Kṛṣṇa to say anything now. Therefore, when Arjuna asks the Lord to talk about His glories that no one else understands, Arjuna is requesting on behalf of humanity. In His compassion, Kṛṣṇa would have revealed Himself to his chosen disciple. However, the rest of humanity would not have been enriched from a revelation that came to Arjuna alone.

Make your plea to Parabrahma Kṛṣṇa, the Jagatguru, so He will provide the light of wisdom for you to be enlightened.
