Commentary
It is one thing to know that the Eternal Spirit dwells in all things and another to have the vision of it. Arjuna now wishes to see the Cosmic Form of The Lord, the visible embodiment of the Unseen Divine, how He is the `birth and passing away of all beings’. The idea is that the abstract metaphysical truth should be given a visible reality.
Yogeshwara: Lord of Yogis – A yogi is one who is endowed with the eight psychic powers. A Yogeshwara is the Lord of such Yogis. Yoga is the identification of the
individual soul with the Self. He who bestows this realization of identity on the deserving spiritual aspirant is a Yogeswara.
