Bhagavad Gita 11.51

दृष्ट्वेदं मानुषं रूपं तवसौम्यं जनार्दन। इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः प्रकृतिं गतः॥

arjuna uvācha dṛiṣhṭvedaṁ mānuṣhaṁ rūpaṁ tava saumyaṁ janārdana idānīm asmi saṁvṛittaḥ sa-chetāḥ prakṛitiṁ gataḥ

Translation

Arjuna said: Beholding again Thy gentle human Form, O Janârdana, I am now collected, and am restored to my own nature.

What it means

Seeing again Your gentle human form, I am now composed and returned to my own nature. Sanity is restored by familiarity. The human-scale divine is where relationship can actually happen.
