Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form
Bhagavad Gita 11.6
पश्यादित्यान्वसून्रुद्रानश्विनौ मरुतस्तथा ।
बहून्यदृष्टपूर्वाणि पश्याश्चर्याणि भारत ॥
paśyādityānvasūnrudrānaśvinau marutastathā | bahūnyadṛṣṭapūrvāṇi paśyāścaryāṇi bhārata ||
Behold the Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the two Ashvins, and the Maruts. Behold, Arjuna, many wonders that have never been seen before.
Modern context
All the gods Arjuna has heard of are visible in one body, along with wonders 'never seen before'. Arjuna is not only seeing what he already knew; he is seeing what no one had imagined. Real encounters with the sacred are not confirmations of what we expected. They overturn expectations and leave us with more questions than we started with.
