The Upanishads state that the Supreme Brahman is the highest principle and to reach Brahman is the ultimate goal of all beings. In the Katopanishad, Yama tells Nachiketas that the ‘Supreme Brahman, the primordial, effulgent Being and indwelling spirit, subtle, deep, and hidden in the lotus of the heart, is hard to know. That is why the Lord grants Divya Chakshus (divine eyes) to Arjuna to enable him to behold His Vishwaroopa. Bhakti bhava in the devotee is the only way to evoke the presence of Brahman who is present within all beings without any exception. The devotee is left overwhelmed with gratitude for this unique moment which was possible by His boundless compassion and grace.
