Translator:
Arjuna said, "It is fitting, O Krishna, that the world delights and rejoices in Your praise; demons fly in fear in all directions and the hosts of the perfected ones bow to You."

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: Arjuna says it is fitting that the world rejoices and delights in Krishna's glory, that demons flee in fear, and the perfected bow down in homage, beginning to process the vision into something closer to acceptance and even praise.

In life: after the initial fear of an overwhelming experience passes, a different, more settled kind of respect or appreciation can gradually take its place.

Teaching: notice, in your own processing of a past overwhelming experience, whether your initial fear has gradually given way to something more like respect or appreciation, that shift is a normal and healthy part of fully integrating what happened.
