Bhagavad Gita - 10th Discourse


Tenth Discourse – The Yoga of Divine Glories
Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that even highly evolved Souls fail to understand how He projects Himself out as the universe and all its manifestations. He goes on to describe the various qualities that beings manifest according to their respective Karma. All these qualities, wisdom, truth, contentment etc., originate from Him.
The true devotees of the Lord, who are wholly absorbed in Him through single-minded devotion and complete surrender, are granted the power of discrimination, the state that leads them from the unreal to the Real. Lord Krishna emphatically declares that ignorance is destroyed and knowledge gained through Divine Grace alone.
Arjuna accepts the descent of the Supreme in a human form but wishes to know from the Lord Himself, His Cosmic powers, by means of which He controls the diverse forces of the universe. The Lord describes His Divine glories, bringing within the range of Arjuna's comprehension. His limitless manifestations and how He upholds everything. In short, the Lord is the Almighty Power that creates, sustains and destroys everything.
