Self-Reflection Prompts
- Why is the highest spiritual realization described as a gift of grace (prasāda) rather than something we can force or buy with effort?
- What does it mean to see the universe as 'primeval, infinite, and full of light' (tejomayaṃ viśvam anantam ādyaṃ)? How does this change our view of physical matter?

11.47
श्रीभगवानुवाच
The Lord praises the vision to remove Arjuna's fear. The supreme form is the identity of the individual self with the universal Self (Brahman). This vision is not attained by external methods, but is revealed by the self-luminous grace of the Lord through inner yoga.
