Sun and moon for eyes

anādimadhyāntamanantavīryam anantabāhuṃ śaśisūryanetrampaśyāmi tvāṃ dīptahutāśavaktraṃ svatejasā viśvamidaṃ tapantam

Without beginning, middle or end, endless in power, sun and moon Your eyes, Your mouth a blazing fire warming the world.

What it means

Arjuna sees endless power. Arms without number. The sun and moon as Krishna's two eyes, watching over day and night. A face like blazing fire. Radiance that warms the whole universe. Everything that gives light, warmth and life is pouring out of this one form.

The story

Arjuna has looked at the sun and moon every day of his life. Now he sees them as Krishna's eyes. Day and night, he has always been watched over.

In your life

Tonight, look at the moon for a full minute. Tomorrow, feel the sun on your face. Imagine both as eyes watching over you with care.
