Why: Arjuna says he is glad to have seen what no one has seen before, but his mind is also disturbed with fear, and he asks Krishna to show him his earlier, familiar form again, naming both gratitude and the honest need for the vision to end.
In life: it's entirely possible to be genuinely grateful for an overwhelming experience while simultaneously, honestly, wanting it to end and return to something more familiar and manageable.
Teaching: hold both of these together without contradiction, genuine gratitude for an intense experience and an honest wish for it to conclude and return to something familiar, neither cancels out the other.
