The Supreme Lord Said: O Arjuna, you cannot see Me with your physical eye; therefore, I give you the divine vision by which you can see My majestic power and glory. (11.08)

Arjuna said: O Lord of the universe, With the divine vision I see You everywhere with infinite form, with many arms, stomachs, faces, and eyes. Neither do I see the beginning nor the middle nor the end of Your Universal Form, or the creation. (11.16)

The Supreme Lord said: O Arjuna,  neither by study of the Vedas, nor by austerity, nor by charity, nor by ritual, can I be seen in this form as you have seen Me. (11.53)

However, through single minded devotion I can be seen in this form, can be known in essence, and also can be reached, O Arjuna. (11.54) 

One who does all works only for Me, and to whom I am the supreme goal; who is my devotee, free from attachment, and without enmity towards all living beings; such a person realizes Me, O Arjuna. (11.55)

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Chapter 10 discusses that everything has come out of Brahman and goes back into Brahman. Chapter 11 again emphasizes the importance of Bhakti in spiritual journey.
