Not Arrogance, Just Trees and Godliness

I have a Hindu aunt and she taught me that Hndu gods can have many mouths and srms and legs, and that they are very colorful and beautiful.

Krishna:
"Arjuna, see my forms
in hundreds and thousands;
diverse, divine,
of many colors and shapes."

Arjuna:
"I see your boundless form
everywhere,
the countless arms,
bellies, mouths, and eyes;
Lord of All,
I see no end,
or middle or beginning
to your totality."

BAM! Proof that Krishna is a god. Krishna tells Arjuna of how he can create world destruction and everything else on earth. I knew he wasn't arrogant!


In teaching 15, Krishna is describing a sacred tree and I suddenly get an image of some sort of Tree of Life.
