Sanskrit recitation

Arjuna asks to see more · 10.12–10.18 · Scene

Translation

How shall I, ever meditating, know you, O Yogin? In what aspects or things, O blessed Lord, should I think of you?

Meaning

Arjuna says O Lord, how may I know Thee by constant meditation In what aspects art Thou to be thought of by me Even when I think of external objects I can meditate on Thee in Thy particular manifestations in them if I have a detailed knowledge of Thy glories. Therefore deign to tell me, without reserve, of Thy own glories. Then only can I behold oneness everywhere.

After Swami Sivananda
