Krishna replied: Behold, Arjuna! My celestial forms, by the hundreds and thousands, of all shapes and colors. Behold the powers of nature, the sun, the heavens, the moon and the stars, the forces of vitality and healing, and the powerful winds. Behold the wonders that have never been seen before. Behold the universe living in me, with all its moving and immovable things. Behold whatever else you desire to see! Since you cannot see me with mortal eyes, I give you divine sight, so you may behold my cosmic manifestation.
