O Divine Purusha, O Origin of Beings, o Lord of all creatures, O God of Gods, O Sustainer of the World! Verily Thou alone knowest Thyself by thyself.
Therefore, please tell me exhaustively of Thy divine powers and qualities by which Thine Omnipresence sustaineth the cosmos.
Krishna is the Divine Lord of Lords. Lord of all creatures, God of Gods and sustainer of world. Krishna himself is knowledgeable of his might and his powers. There is no other creature or being anywhere in this universe that can have knowledge of Krishna. Its like the Sword itself, who knows how sharp it is and never gets cut by itself. And so Arjuna wants to know the truth from the Truth himself.
Arjun getting hungry to know more and more of the Divine wisdom that was filling his mind with bliss, is now getting more and more greedy for consuming more of what Krishna is giving. The real Greed that which cannot be called negative. Whereas greed to attain the materialistic pleasures always ends up in vain; the Greed to know the Divine never goes in vain.
Arjuna tired of unending cold wars with brothers since birth, and now confronting a real war; when finally gets to know the bliss of Krishna cannot stop himself of drinking that pleasure more and more. This was the never ending thirst of drinking in the eternity and Truth of the divine which comes only after a certain state of maturity is attained by a soul.
A mature soul is one which knows in and out of the materialistic world. Has seen good and bad of the maya through several births. And is now very much aware that there is something beyond all good and bad. And this soul when gets to know the Divine, then has all the strength, will and receptivity to get whatever the Divine gives out. And so Divine never gives out his knowledge to just any soul who has not attained enough maturity level to be bestowed with that knowledge.
