Bhagavad Gita 18.77

तच्च संस्मृत्य संस्मृत्य रूपमत्यद्भुतं हरेः। विस्मयो मे महान् राजन् हृष्यामि च पुनः पुनः॥

tach cha sansmṛitya saṁsmṛitya rūpam aty-adbhutaṁ hareḥ vismayo ye mahān rājan hṛiṣhyāmi cha punaḥ punaḥ

Translation

Remembering, remembering, also that most marvellous form of Hari, great is my wonder, O King. I rejoice, again and again.

What it means

And remembering, remembering that most wonderful form of Hari, my amazement grows, O King; I rejoice again and again. The vision leaves a permanent residue of wonder. Awe, once seen, keeps giving.

Try this today

The vision too replays: wonder that does not depreciate.

Something to reflect on

What have I seen once that keeps renewing its wonder?
