The Upanishads declare that the Self cannot be seen by the eyes, but the eyes can see everything else by the power of the Self. It can only be seen by the eye of knowledge.
Even though the Lord shows the entire universe in His body, Arjuna cannot see it. Then, the compassionate Lord grants Arjuna divine eyes.
With these divine eyes, Arjuna can see the entire universe in one place, within the body of the Lord standing in front of him.
In philosophical terms, 'seeing' is 'knowing' or 'realizing'. Realizing the Self involves seeing oneself as the immortal presence, and discarding the illusory image of oneself as the inert body and the body of thoughts.
