Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 44 & 45

2nd September 2024


Who will forgive the other for their mistakes? Not a stranger but parents out of love and attachment will forgive their children. So too a friend or a true lover.

Arjuna pleads to the Lord to forgive for his thoughtless behavior by treating him as a child, friend, or beloved one. He salutes Him by fully bowing down.

Though Arjuna had requested the Lord to show the cosmic form, upon seeing Him he is stricken with fear. For, he had never expected to see the unpleasant end of the Universe demonstrated by the Lord.

Just as the child of a police officer would like to see the father without his commanding attire while at home, Arjuna submits to the Lord to show the usual form that he is familiar with by discarding the cosmic form.
