Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 10 (Part-2)Vibhooti Yogah:Yoga of the Divine ManifestationsT.N.SethumadhavanConcepts and IssuesSeeing the sincere inquisitiveness of Arjuna in knowing the attributes and glories of TheLord, Sri Krishna reveals them with affection for his welfare and prosperity and throughhim for the benefit of the humanity at large.Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that neither the Gods nor the sages know His origin because Heis the source of all. He, who knows Him as Unborn and Beginningless and as theSupreme Lord of the Universe, is undeluded and liberated from all the sins. From Himalone all the qualities of beings viz. understanding, wisdom, non-illusion, patience,truthfulness, self-control, calmness, happiness, pain, birth, death, fear and fearlessnessarise. The seven great sages, the ancient four and the Manus, invested with the power ofThe Lord, were born out of His mere will and from them all the creatures of the worlddescended. He who knows these manifold manifestations and super-natural powers ofThe Lord gets established in Yoga.The wise ones knowing that He is the source of all, that everything in the world existsbecause of Him, worship Him with devotion, talk on Him, surrender themselves to Him,meditate on Him and rejoice in Him. Sri Krishna says that those who worship Him withdevotion, to them He gives the Yoga of Discrimination by which they shall reach Him. Inorder to shower His grace, He dwells in their Self and destroys the darkness of theirignorance by the shining lamp of wisdom.Arjuna tells The Lord “Narada, Vyasa and other great seers have described You in thesame terms. Now, You too confirm their teachings. I believe that You are the SupremeSpirit-The Lord, the Infinite Paramatman. You told me earlier that even the Gods and thegreat sages do not comprehend you correctly in all Your full glory. Since You are theonly one who knows You, You are the only teacher who can teach me about Yourself andYour glories. You must tell me therefore all Your glories which pervade all the worlds.Tell me also how am I to meditate so that I may know you. In which aspect or formshould I contemplate upon You to realize You in Your full glory? Tell me all about Yogapowers and Your glories ".From here till the end of this Chapter Sri Krishna gives several examples of Hismanifestations with the idea that he who meditates upon on any one of them will be ableto discover the Infinite in the finite world of pluralities.The long list of His manifestations described in the Verses 20 -39 has been tabulatedbelow for easy reference.
