Transliteration
śhrī-bhagavān uvācha su-durdarśham idaṁ rūpaṁ dṛiṣhṭavān asi yan mama devā apy asya rūpasya nityaṁ darśhana-kāṅkṣhiṇaḥ
In plain words
You feel invisible, unworthy, like your pain doesn't matter enough to reach anyone—not even God. Krishna says: the very fact that you're able to see, to feel, to reach out means you've already been touched by grace. What you're receiving right now—this moment, this prayer, this moment of being seen—is so precious that even the highest beings in existence would ask for it. You were never too small for the Divine's attention.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals the supreme paradox: the very form Arjuna beholds is so transcendent that even the celestial gods eternally yearn for this glimpse—yet it has appeared before mortal eyes through grace alone. This is not a form you earned through merit, but one bestowed through devotion's opening.
When you encounter the Divine in any moment—in silence, in service, in another's eyes—remember that you are receiving what even the gods themselves aspire toward, and this recognition transforms gratitude from sentiment into lived truth.
