If Thou, O Lord, thinkest it possible for me to see it, do Thou, then, O Lord of the Yogins, show me Thy imperishable Self.

If you think it is possible for me to see it, Lord, then, master of yoga, show me your imperishable self.

Arjuna adds a careful condition to his request. He does not demand the vision; he asks for it only if Krishna judges that he is able to bear it. This humility matters, since what is coming will prove almost too much for him. He addresses Krishna as yogeśvara, lord of yoga, recalling the power of yoga by which Krishna manifests his glories, as described in the previous chapter. The request is for the imperishable self, the undying reality behind all the glories. The verse shows the right attitude of a seeker: eager, yet leaving the decision to the teacher.
