Universal Form

One day Advaita Acharya overcome by the mood of the gopis began to dance, while all the devotees sang with intense feelings. He danced in joy and at the same moment in great humility and distress he fell to the ground holding a straw in his teeth and began to roll as if intoxicated by the divine nectar of love of God. Advaita continued to dance for several hours, but the other devotees were exhausted unable to keep up with Him. Then finally the devotees pacified him, making him sit down, and they sat around him. Finding Advaita somewhat tranquil, Srivas Pandit, Ramai and a few others went for their baths. But soon again Advaita was overcome with feeling distress and as it gradually increased in intensity he began to roll in Srivas' courtyard.

Lord Chaitanya after some work, was resting in His house. Advaita's feelings of humility and distress became known to the Lord. The Lord always soothes away His devotees distress and worries. So Lord Chaitanya came to see Advaita. Seeing Advaita supine in Srivas' courtyard, He took him by the hand leading him into the temple and shut the doors. Giving Advaita a consoling smile the Lord said, "Listen Acharya! Tell Me what is your desire right now, what is to be done?" Advaita said, "O Lord, You are essence of all the Vedas. I want only You. What else is there to want?" The Lord laughed slightly and replied, "Here I am in person, what more do you want?" Advaita insisted, "What you say is true, here you are before me the Absolute truth, yet I would like to see some of Your mystic opulence." The Lord softly asked, “Tell Me what You desire?" Advaita said, "My Lord, I intensely desire to see what Arjun had seen long ago."

*As soon as Advaita had spoken these words, Advaita saw a chariot in the midst of a raging battlefield, millions of soldiers were engaged in combat all around the chariot. Sitting inside this chariot was the beautiful blackish four handed form of Lord Krishna holding conch, mace, lotus and disc in each of His hands. Advaita was right then beholding the Universal form of Lord Krishna. All the planets and stars like sun, moon, and mountains, rivers, oceans, forests were visible within this wondrous manifestation of Krishna.*

He saw Arjun standing before this Universal form with folded hands offering words of prayer and praise. He saw millions of pairs of eyes, and millions of open mouths with huge licking flames exuding out of them. All the atheists and sinful demons were being sucked into this mighty conflagration to be consumed. The fault finders, and the heartless ones who perpetrate violence on others all burned in the flames from the mouth of Lord Chaitanya. Advaita was blessed with the Lord's special mercy and therefore he could see this marvelous Universal form of Lord Chaitanya. As Advaita saw this Universal form he began to cry in great ecstasy due to his intense love for the Lord and falling to his knees in great humility he begged the Lord for His eternal association as his Lord and master.
