Gita reflection Ch 10 verses 15 & 16

28th July 2024


I can see your physical form, but I do not know what is in your mind. You know both your physical form and the thoughts and feelings in your mind. You alone know who you are. Can anyone else know you if you do not share?

We cannot see God's form unless He wishes to show us. All devotees pray to have His 'darshan'. We can know much less about what He really is unless He shares with us! He alone knows who He is.

This is true for our own higher Self too. The Upanishads say, "he who seeks to know It exclusively, alone is chosen to know It."

Arjuna asks Lord Krishna to describe all His manifestations by which he envelopes the entire cosmos. Vedanta philosophy holds the view that Brahman in manifestation is Ishwara (God) and the total manifestation is the cosmos!
