Geeta Chapter 18 Stanzas 67 to 78 : The End Of The Last Chapter Of Bhagavad Geeta.ast

Krishma continues,
"There are explicit restrictions  on how this knowledge should be distributed. It should not be given to one who lacks the rigor of discipline and penance. It should not be given to one who lacks devotion. It should not be given to those who have no desire to listen, and should not be given to those who are envious of me.

This is the most secret knowledge I have conferred upon you.The one who delivers it to my devotees with utmost faith in me will ultimately be one with my essence and there is no doubt about this.

There will be none among the inheritors of the tradition of Geeta who will be dearer to me than him who will fulfill this mission of reaching the right audience with the right understanding and he will be dear to me at all times.

Whoever will read our dialogue about the nature of truth and reflect upon it will stay in my heart as the one who performed a sacrifice at the altar of knowledge.

The one who will listen to it with faith and with a heart free of malaise will be free of every sin and will reach the realm where the pious souls dwell.

Arjun, did you listen to me with one-pointed concentration? Did it remove your doubts completely
which were born out of ignorance?

Arjun said,
"My doubts and illusions are no more. My deep memory (of my Self) has been regained by your grace.  I am back to myself on stable ground. Now I will execute your word."

Hereafter Dhrutarashtra's envoy Sanjay took over the thread of the narrative. Sanjay said, "I had been listening to an astonishing dialogue between the son of Vasudeva and the son of Prutha ( Arjun, who is called here the son of Prutha which was another name of his mother Kunti.)
It was the most thrilling experience to say the least. While The Master among all Yogis, Krishna was speaking  I had the Divine Eye endowed upon me by the grace of the sage Vyasa to hear and absorb the most secret doctrine of Yoga.

O my Lord, there is no end to my wonder and astonishment as I recall and again that miraculous form of Hari (another name of Krishna). O King I am filled with great astonishment and I feel a tremor of ecstasy run through me again and again.

Where there exist together the Master Yogi Krishna and the Master marksman Partha, there you will find wealth, victory, prosperity and the right path. I have no doubt about this.   


 Aum Tat Sat, with this ends the eighteenth chapter called the yoga of freedom and renunciation which is a part of the dialogue between Shri Krishna and Arjun,  which occurs in the Upanishad called Bhagavadgeeta which forms a part of the science of Yoga and all together is a part of The knowledge of Brahma
