(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Part 1)","description":"Why does Krishna wait until Chapter 11 to reveal his universal form? In this episode, we explore one of the most dramatic turning points in the Bhagavad Gita. After ten chapters of spiritual teaching, Arjuna is finally granted \u201cdivine sight.\u201d&amp;nbsp; But why now? In this episode, I\u2019ll compare Krishna\u2019s revelation with Jesus\u2019 Transfiguration, explore the yogic concept of avidya (ignorance), and explain why spiritual practice doesn\u2019t create God. It removes the veil that keeps us from recognizing what has always been there. In this episode: \ud83d\udd39Why Arjuna couldn\u2019t recognize Krishna\u2019s divinity until now \ud83d\udd39The difference between belief and direct spiritual experience \ud83d\udd39How yoga removes avidya, the veil of ignorance \ud83d\udd39What Jesus\u2019 Transfiguration reveals about spiritual readiness \ud83d\udd39Why mystical experiences are received as grace\u2014not earned&amp;nbsp; \ud83d\udc49 Dive deeper into yoga\u2019s origins with my History of Yoga Course \u2192  https:\/\/www.brettlarkin.com\/history-of-yoga-course\/?utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=hoy&amp;nbsp; Want to go deeper between episodes?
