The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran

╭ chapter eleven
49
Do not be troubled; do not fear my terrible
form. Let your heart be satisfied and your fears
dispelled in looking at me as I was before.
sanjaya

Having spoken these words, the Lord once
again assumed the gentle form of Krishna and
consoled his devotee, who had been so afraid.

O Krishna, now that I have seen your
gentle human form my mind is again
composed and returned to normal.

It is extremely difficult to obtain the vision you
have had; even the gods long always to see me in
this aspect. 53 Neither knowledge of the Vedas, nor
austerity, nor charity, nor sacrifice can bring the vision
you have seen. 54 But through unfailing devotion,
Arjuna, you can know me, see me, and attain union
with me. 55 Those who make me the supreme goal
of all their work and act without selfish attachment,
who devote themselves to me completely and are
free from ill will for any creature, enter into me.
