Bhagavad Gita 11.9 is Chapter 11, Verse 9, in Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga (The Universal Form). Below are the Sanskrit text, a transliteration, a plain-English translation and an explanation.
sañjaya uvāca evam uktvā tato rājan mahā-yogeśvaro hariḥ darśayām āsa pārthāya paramaṁ rūpam aiśvaram
"Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, O King, Hari, the great Lord of Yoga, then showed Arjuna His supreme cosmic form."
What This Means:
Sanjaya (the narrator to blind King Dhritarashtra) reports: Krishna (Hari), the great Master of Yoga, showed Arjuna His supreme cosmic form. The revelation begins.
Going Deeper:
Sanjaya has divine sight too (granted by Vyasa), enabling him to witness and report what happens. Two levels of divine vision: Arjuna's direct experience, Sanjaya's witnessing for us.
How To Apply This:
Spiritual experiences can be witnessed and transmitted. What Arjuna saw, Sanjaya describes, and we receive. There's a chain of transmission even for transcendent events.
