Bhagavad Gita 10.19 · Krishna
Only the highlights
हन्त ते कथयिष्यामि दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतयः।
प्राधान्यतः कुरुश्रेष्ठ नास्त्यन्तो विस्तरस्य मे॥
śrībhagavānuvācahanta te kathayiṣyāmi divyā hyātmavibhūtayaḥprādhānyataḥ kuruśreṣṭha nāstyanto vistarasya me
Very well, best of the Kurus, I will tell you my divine glories, only the chief ones. My expanse has no end.
What it means
Krishna agrees, gladly, and sets the terms. He will name only the highlights, because a complete list is impossible. What follows is not a catalogue to memorise. It is a set of windows, and each one opens onto something without limits.
The story
Arjuna asked for everything. Krishna smiles at the impossible request and offers what can be said. Over the next verses he will move from the sun to the sea, from mountains to the human heart.
In your life
A hiking guide stops on a ridge and points out just three peaks, because there are far too many to name. Next time you are outdoors, pick one thing, and really look at it.
A few windows onto an endless view.
