In the Bhagavad Gita Arjuna says to Krishna, “If, O Lord, You think me able to behold it,... reveal to me your immutable Self.”<ref>Swami Nikhilanda, trans., ''The Bhagavad Gita'' (New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, 1944), p. 254.</ref> When Krishna reveals his Divine Being to Arjuna, Arjuna beholds the whole universe inside of Krishna. Based on this passage many have concluded that Krishna is the supreme God and the supreme Lord. And of course he is. But just as Lord [[Jesus]] never declared himself to be the exclusive Son of God, so Lord Krishna never declared himself to be the exclusive supreme God or supreme Lord.

<!--T:11-->
We can see Arjuna as the archetype of the soul of each of us and Krishna as the charioteer of our [[soul]], one with our Higher Self, our [[Holy Christ Self]]. We can see him occupying the position of the Holy Christ Self on the [[Chart of Your Divine Self]], as the Mediator between the soul and the [[I AM Presence]]. He is [[universal Christ]] consciousness.
