Translation: 

If You think that I am able to behold Your cosmic form, O my Lord, O master of all mystic power, then kindly show me that unlimited universal Self.

 

manyase yadi tac chakyaṁ, Me dear Lord if you think it is possible for me

mayā draṣṭum iti prabhu, if You think it is possible for me to see this form my dear Lord.

yogeśvara tato me tvaṁ, O Lord You are Yogesgwara, I know it is possible because You are Yogeswara.

darśayātmānam avyayam, Please show You own glories Your imperishable glories. 

Here Arjuna is exhibiting humility. Difference between humility and pride is humility begs and wait, pride demands and complains.

When we are proud we think we deserve something and when it is not coming we demand. 

In the beginning of KC westerns devotees has done amazing outreach programs and spread KC but they were thinking in 6 months whole world will be chanting HK and also they were thinking in 6 months I will be able to see Krishna. Once Hayagriva Pr approached SP and said I am chanting and following 4 regulative principle from 6 months still I have not had darsan of Krishna, then SP became very grave and tell him to read verse…If you think I am qualified…so we will not decide our qualification Krishna will decide out qualification…so the desire is good but devotees doesn’t demand, we are servants, we want more and more reciprocation with Him, we like, ecstatic delighted to get His darshan but demand for His darshan is not appropriate for our Bhakti.
