In plain words
You've been trying to see God, truth, or your own purpose through what you already know—through effort, logic, and control—and it hasn't worked. Krishna says: stop. The deepest revelation doesn't come when you demand it or earn it; it comes when you finally release your grip and become open enough to receive it. What you're searching for is already searching for you.
Word by Word
By Divine grace alone does Krishna reveal His supreme cosmic form—the Vishwaroopa—a manifestation of infinite light and primordial power that transcends all creation and has never been witnessed by any other soul. This is not a reward for merit or effort, but a gift of divine mercy (prasannena) bestowed upon one who surrenders completely.
When we release our grip on understanding God through logic and control, we become vessels for direct revelation—and in modern life, this means the deepest truths arrive only when we stop demanding and start receiving with open hearts.
