48

Take to penance

Or pore over four Vedas

None that helps to see this Form.

49

Having beheld My bewildering Form

Now ease with My Form Normal.

50

Thus spoke Sanjaya:

Having said thus Lord assumed

His form normal that calmed Arjun.

51

Thus spoke Arjuna:

O, Lord now I feel normal

With Thy gentle form human.

52

Thus spoke the Lord:

Ever crave gods ’n angels too

Just to behold that thee beheld.

53

Austerities well Vedic grasp

Charity, as well ritual regimen

Get none to what thou had seen.

54

Yet in devotion, divines man

Attains besides, Form this Mine.

55

He that takes Me for Supreme

And treats his work as Mine own one,

Gets who rid of his restraints

And keeps his faith in Me always,

He who bears no ill-feeling

Ever on move, he comes to Me.

Ends thus:

Nature of Omnipresence,
