Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 10: The Divine Glories

Bhagavad Gita 10.12

परं ब्रह्म परं धाम पवित्रं परमं भवान् । पुरुषं शाश्वतं दिव्यमादिदेवमजं विभुम् ॥

paraṃ brahma paraṃ dhāma pavitraṃ paramaṃ bhavān | puruṣaṃ śāśvataṃ divyamādidevamajaṃ vibhum ||

You are the supreme Brahman, the supreme abode, and the supreme purifier; the eternal, divine Person, the first of the gods, unborn and all-pervading.

Modern context

For the first time Arjuna responds not with a question but with praise. He has heard enough to be moved, and he names what he now sees: supreme, eternal, divine, unborn, everywhere. This is a turning point. Understanding has become recognition. There is a difference between hearing something described and suddenly seeing it is true of the person in front of you.
