The Unspoken
“The Cosmic Form (Vishvarupa)” looks beyond ritual toward the inner state that gives ritual its meaning. The deeper thought is wisdom as something lived through action, doubt, and repeated self-correction. The repeated presence of breath gives the lyric a symbolic layer of life, presence, and what cannot be taken for granted. The first-person voice keeps the meaning close to lived experience rather than turning it into a lecture. The lyric’s arrival at “This is My cosmic form” matters because the final movement turns spiritual insight into a practical way of standing in the world.
The Cosmic Form (Vishvarupa) - Lyrics
Arjuna, now behold Me
As time has always known
The form beyond all boundaries,
Where all the worlds are shown.
A thousand blazing faces,
A thousand eyes of flame,
Creation and destruction
Alive within My name.
See galaxies in motion,
See life in every breath,
See gods within My body,
See birth entwined with death.
All forms arise within Me,
All paths return to Me
The cosmic wheel of ages
That spins eternally.
This vision shakes the mortal mind,
For none can see and stay confined.
You stand where all illusions die
Before the truth that fills the sky.
This is My cosmic form—Vishvarupa revealed.
The universe within Me, eternally unsealed.
This is the shape of all,
The fire, the breath, the storm
The cradle and the ending,
The infinite in form.
See countless beings rising,
See countless beings fall,
See time devouring kingdoms,
See fate consuming all.
See suns erupt in thunder,
See worlds collapse in light
For I am every shadow,
And I am every sight.
Let fear and wonder break your breath,
For here is life and here is death.
You witness now the One so vast
That future, present, blend with past.
This is My cosmic form
Too vast for mortal sight.
A vision born of thunder,
Of truth, of awe, of light.
This is My cosmic form
The infinite displayed…
And once your eyes behold this truth,
They cannot turn to shade.
