Chapter 11 - Verse 52

Devotion as the sole means to the realization of the Universal form.

श्रीभगवानुवाच—
सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम ।
देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः ॥ ५२ ॥

śrībhagavānuvāca—
sudurdarśamidaṃ rūpaṃ dṛṣṭavānasi yanmama .
devā apyasya rūpasya nityaṃ darśanakāṅkṣiṇaḥ .. 52 ..


The Blessed Lord said :

Very hard to see is this Form of Mine which thou hast seen; even the Devas ever long to behold this Form.

Read the commentary
Long to behold: though they long to see the form, yet they have not seen It as you have done, nor shall they ever see It.
