BG 11.28: Commentary by Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
The Universal form is striking a significant transition enlarging Arjuna’s mind, but beckoning all Kurukshetra fighters to Its gaping mouth. It makes Arjuna think of the innumerable rivers rushing to meet the vast ocean, losing their distinctions.
All are flowing with tremendous speed, but only to end up their individuality by getting unified with the expansive sea. However useful, glorious and famous otherwise, their role is only to merge with the vast immeasurable depths.
So too the illustrious fighters, including Bheeshma, Drona and Karna are rushing to the Universal form with amazing speed and resolve!
