Bhagavad Gita 10.12 is Chapter 10, Verse 12, in Vibhuti Yoga (Divine Manifestations). Below are the Sanskrit text, a transliteration, a plain-English translation and an explanation.
arjuna uvāca paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ divyam ādi-devam ajaṁ vibhum
"Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Brahman, the supreme abode, the supreme purifier, the eternal divine Person, the primal God, unborn and all-pervading."
What This Means:
Arjuna now speaks with understanding. He recognizes Krishna as Brahman (absolute), dhama (abode), purifier, eternal Person, original God, unborn, and all-pervading. His vision has opened.
Going Deeper:
Arjuna's statement shows transformed perception. He's not just believing what he's told; he's seeing. The teaching has become sight. This is how Chapter 11's cosmic vision is being prepared.
How To Apply This:
When understanding dawns, you can articulate what you see. Arjuna's words aren't recitation, they're recognition. When you truly see, you'll find words that express your seeing.
