Meaning & Commentary
In this profound verse, Lord Krishna reveals His omnipresent form, known as the Virata-rupa, demonstrating that the Supreme Divine is not limited by a physical body. By describing Himself as having hands, feet, and senses everywhere, Bhagwan Shri Krishna teaches the seeker that there is no space, time, or atom where He does not exist. This realization shatters the illusion of separation, inviting the devotee to see the Divine presence in every living being and every manifestation of nature. When one perceives this universal expansion of Yogeshwar Krishna, the path to liberation becomes clear, as all actions are offered to Him, and all duality dissolves into His eternal, all-encompassing consciousness.
