What is the significance of Arjuna's surrender after receiving divine vision?

True surrender arises when the ego collapses in the face of the divine; it is not an attainment, but a humbling return to the self, preparing the heart to receive grace.

— Osho
According to Osho, Arjuna’s surrender after the divine vision signifies the collapse of an unprepared ego before immensity: the vision was Krishna’s loan, a shock to break habit, not Arjuna’s attainment. His plea to return to the familiar marks humility and a turning point—shifting from demanding experiences to cleansing perception. It teaches that divinity cannot be borrowed; one must polish oneself so grace can be assimilated.

He saw more than he could handle, so he yielded to Krishna and learned to clean his own eyes instead of trying to see through Krishna’s.
