सञ्जय उवाच |
इत्यर्जुनं वासुदेवस्तथोक्त्वास्वकं रूपं दर्शयामास भूय: |

🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 11 Verse 52-53:
श्रीभगवानुवाच |सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम |

🔴 BG 11.52-53:
The Supreme Lord said: This form of Mine that you are seeing is exceedingly difficult to behold. Even the celestial gods are eager to see it. Neither by the study of the Vedas, nor by penance, charity, or fire sacrifices, can I be seen as you have seen Me. || 52-53 ||
🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 11 Verse 54:

🔴 O Arjun, by unalloyed devotion alone can I be known as I am, standing before you. Thereby, on receiving My divine vision, O scorcher of foes, one can enter into union with Me. || 54 ||

Namaste Swamiji.
I read, 'When you hold on to Isvara, you will get a teacher, gain values, and then gain knowledge'. But in my case, I got a teacher, gained values, and then knowledge, the understanding of which taught me to hold on to Isvara.
And it makes me so attached to my teacher.🙏🌻🙏
