Bhagavad Gita 11.47

मया प्रसन्नेन तवार्जुनेदं रूपं परं दर्शितमात्मयोगात्। तेजोमयं विश्वमनन्तमाद्यं यन्मे त्वदन्येन न दृष्टपूर्वम्॥

śhrī-bhagavān uvācha mayā prasannena tavārjunedaṁ rūpaṁ paraṁ darśhitam ātma-yogāt tejo-mayaṁ viśhvam anantam ādyaṁ yan me tvad anyena na dṛiṣhṭa-pūrvam

Translation

The Blessed Lord said: Arjuna, by My favour thou hast seen, This loftiest Form by yoga's self revealed! Radiant, all-penetrating, endless, first, That none except thyself hath ever seen.

What it means

By My grace you have seen this supreme form, radiant, universal, endless, primal, which none but you has seen before. The vision is declared a unique gift. Even in cosmic history, this viewing is exceptional.

Try this today

The privilege acknowledged: an unprecedented vision, given by grace, not achieved by effort.

Something to reflect on

Which gift in my life arrived by grace that no effort of mine earned?
