Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 63 & 64

26th December 2024


The greatness of Hindu masters lies in their approach: they never impose a specific path on anyone. The Vedas, Puranas, and other spiritual literature are filled with wise suggestions and teachings rather than strict commandments.

In this context, Lord Krishna offers Arjuna a final piece of advice: "I have imparted to you knowledge that is more secret than any secret. Reflect on this as a whole, and then do as you wish."

The Guru assesses the maturity of the disciple, allowing him to make the right choice. Again, Lord Krishna emphasizes to Arjuna the profound nature of the knowledge he has received. 

Krishna holds Arjuna dear and shares the knowledge of the Self with him to help him discover his own freedom.
