TRANSLATION Arjuna said:
I have heard Your instruction on confidential spiritual matters which You
have so kindly delivered unto me, and my illusion is now dispelled.
PURPORT This chapter
reveals Krsna as the cause of all causes. He is even the cause of the Maha-Visnu,
and from Him the material universes emanate. Krsna is not an incarnation;
He is the source of all incarnations. That has been completely explained
in the last chapter.
Now, as
far as Arjuna is concerned, he says that his illusion is over. This means
that Arjuna no longer thinks of Krsna as a mere human being, as a friend
of his, but as the source of everything. Arjuna is very enlightened and
is glad that he has a great friend like Krsna, but now he is thinking that
although he may accept Krsna as the source of everything, others may not.
So in order to establish Krsna's divinity for all, he is requesting Krsna
in this chapter to show His universal form. Actually when one sees the
universal form of Krsna one becomes frightened, like Arjuna, but Krsna
is so kind that after showing it He converts Himself again into His original
form. Arjuna agrees to what Krsna says several times. Krsna is speaking
to him just for his benefit, and Arjuna acknowledges that all this is happening
to him by Krsna's grace. He is now convinced that Krsna is the cause of
all causes and is present in everyone's heart as the Supersoul.
