If in the sky a thousand suns were to rise at once,
their brilliance might resemble the radiance of that Great-souled One.।। 12।।
There, in one place, the whole universe, manifoldly divided,
the Pāṇḍava beheld within the body of the God of gods.।। 13।।
Then he, wonder-struck, his hair bristling with joy,
Dhanañjaya bowed his head to the Deity, palms joined, and spoke.।। 14।।
Arjuna said
I behold, O God, within Your body all the gods, and likewise the diverse hosts of beings.
Brahmā, the Lord on the lotus-seat; the seers all, and the serpents—
divine.।। 15।।
With countless arms, bellies, mouths, and eyes, I behold You—form infinite on every side.
No end, no middle, nor again a beginning of Yours do I see, O Lord of the universe, O Universal Form.।। 16।।
Crowned, mace-bearing, discus-wielding; a mass of light, shining everywhere,
I behold You, hard to behold,
on every side blazing like fire and sun—immeasurable.।। 17।।
Geeta Darshan #3
Chapter Summary
Osho presents the Gita as a map for waking up while living in the world, not a manual of moral rules; its heart is inner revolution, not asceticism. Using Arjuna on the battlefield as a living metaphor, the discourse makes clear that the real fight is awareness confronting the mind’s fears, desires and its paralysis. The central practice is to become the witness: act fully and responsively in life while watching the arising of the doer, so action becomes spontaneous rather than ego-driven. Through persistent meditation and discriminating awareness the ego loosens and duty (dharma) is transformed into a freedom-filled, loving participation. On action: right action is rooted in awareness, effortless when the sense of a separate doer drops and responsibility replaces guilt. On meditation: meditation is the ground in which action happens — a continuous witnessing that dissolves tension and allows true intelligence to act. On ego: the ego is a constructed center of compulsions and must be seen clearly and outgrown, not violently rejected. On love and dharma: love arises when one lives one’s true duty without attachment, turning obligation into celebration and presence.
