This (that I have taught) should never be taught to one who is devoid of austerities, one who is not a devotee, one who does not render service, or one who cavils at Me.
He who, entertaining supreme devotion to Me, speaks of this highest secret to My devotees, will without doubt reach Me alone.
And compared to him, no other human is better at accomplishing what is dear to Me. Furthermore, there will be no one else in the world dearer to Me than him.
And he who will study this sacred conversation between us two, which is conducive to virtue, by him I shall be adored through the Sacrifice of Knowledge. This is My judgment.
Any man who, being reverent and free from caviling, listens to this (teaching) with reverence, he too, becoming free, shall attain the blessed worlds of those who perform virtuous deeds.
Osho’s Commentary
Krishna now gives the conditions for the transmission of this supreme secret. Do not speak this to one who is not austere, who is not devoted, who is unwilling to listen, or who finds fault with me. This knowledge is not for the profane. It is a sacred trust, to be shared only with those who are worthy, whose hearts are open and receptive. But he who shares this supreme secret with my devotees, showing the highest love for me, he too will come to me. There is no one who does a more loving service to me than he. And he who studies this sacred dialogue of ours, by him I shall be worshipped through the sacrifice of knowledge. And even the man who listens to it with faith and without fault-finding, he too, being liberated, shall attain to the happy worlds of the righteous. The transmission of truth is a sacred act. It requires a worthy teacher and a worthy disciple. The words of the Gita are not for idle curiosity. They are for those who are on a deep quest, whose hearts are filled with love and a thirst for the ultimate.
