Krishna addresses the ultimate optical illusion of His own Avatar. He states: The unintelligent and foolish (abuddhayaḥ) think and assume (manyante) that I, who am fundamentally the unmanifest, invisible Absolute (avyaktaṃ), have merely assumed or taken on a physical, visible, human personality (vyaktim āpannaṃ). Why do they make this mistake? Because they are completely ignorant of and do not know (ajānanto) My supreme, higher nature and true state of being (paraṃ bhāvam)—a nature which is entirely imperishable, exhaustless (mama avyayam), and unsurpassable (anuttamam).
