Bhagavad Gita 11.5

पश्य मे पार्थ रूपाणि शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः। नानाविधानि दिव्यानि नानावर्णाकृतीनि च॥

śhrī-bhagavān uvācha paśhya me pārtha rūpāṇi śhataśho ’tha sahasraśhaḥ nānā-vidhāni divyāni nānā-varṇākṛitīni cha

Translation

The Blessed Lord said: Behold, O Pârtha, a Form of Me, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, various in kind, divine, various in colours and shapes.

What it means

Behold My forms by the hundreds and thousands, divine, of many kinds, many colors and shapes. The answer begins with multiplicity. The One is about to appear as everything.

Try this today

The vision granted: multiplicity beyond counting, all divine.

Something to reflect on

If everything I see were one presence in many costumes, what changes today?
