Bhagavad Gita 11.50
इत्यर्जुनं वासुदेवस्तथोक्त्वा स्वकं रूपं दर्शयामास भूयः। आश्वासयामास च भीतमेनं भूत्वा पुनः सौम्यवपुर्महात्मा॥
sañjaya uvācha ity arjunaṁ vāsudevas tathoktvā svakaṁ rūpaṁ darśhayām āsa bhūyaḥ āśhvāsayām āsa cha bhītam enaṁ bhūtvā punaḥ saumya-vapur mahātmā
Translation
Sanjaya said: Vâsudeva, having thus spoken to Arjuna, again manifested His own Form, and consoled the terrified one, the Mahâtman again assuming a gentle form.
What it means
Having spoken, Krishna showed His own form again, and the great-souled one, assuming a gentle form, consoled the terrified Arjuna. The return to gentleness is itself a teaching: the terrible and the tender are the same Person.
Try this today
Consolation as act: the divine returns to the size the friend can hold.
Something to reflect on
When has tenderness after severity taught me more than either alone?
