Similarly, Arjuna is unable to comprehend the all-inclusive cosmic form in his mind. He doubtfully asks the Lord, if it is possible to give him the vision of His eternal form.  For, He alone can reveal Himself if He wishes. 

Accordingly, the Lord responded, 'See my thousands of forms which are divine and of different shapes and colors.'
