What a surprise!!! Krishna reveals his form and is in fact a ......god or a charioteer? It took me by surprise when Krishna was revealed as a god in disguise, as "the gog of gods"
This has been my favorite teaching so far becausethe misterious, powerful Krishna is finally revealed and we can finally grasp an idea of the real Krishna and know what he is all about. What I disliked about this teaching is Arjuna's attitude toward's Krishna actually being a god, he acts like a coward and is very hypocritical. When Krishna was a simple charioteer he treated him with indifference and with no regard for him at all. When Arjuna discovers Krishna's real identity he feels threatened and suddenly treats Krishna with respect and acts like he is devoted to him and even says that he failed to see his greatness and crap like that. What I find amazing is that Arjuna then accepts he is biased only to Krishna's power and begs him to show him the way and to acccept him in his totality. Then Krishna allows Arjuna to see him in his totality and sees that he means well and is an honest person with his heart in the right place, even if he makes mistakes.
Even though their relationship has had ups and downs we can see that a very strong bond is holding them together. He even teahces him the most secret tradition, that states that Krishna is everything and only the man who strives has a god within. Once again we see him trying to teach Arjuna to detach and to earn discipline to achieve greatness in life, be strong within.
