Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga - Verse 19
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Krishna agrees, but prefaces his description with the words that he can recount only a small part of the glorious infinitude of the Self. The grandeur the Self holds within is endless, multitudinously extensive. And none can describe it amply by any means.
The visible world around clearly indicates the Self’s majesty and magnificence. The far point of our eye is infinity! The naked eye can see a sizable object at infinite distance! What should then be the multi-faceted infinitude the Self can unfold through the senses, designed and cast in the mother’s womb? None can think of accessing the full magnitude of the Self’s innate greatness! Modern science also, with the advancement of research, finds the Universe more and more baffling!
