Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 64

 Chapter 18 verse 64               

“Hear again my supreme instruction, the most confidential of all knowledge. I am revealing this for your benefit because you are very dear to me.” 

Is Arjuna more ready to receive and gain wisdom from the Bhagawan’s and Guru’s instructions than when the Bhagavat Gita teaching began? One would assume that is the case. The Guru, who is nothing but a reflection of the immutable self and the spiritual energy of the universe, determines if the disciple is ready to receive the knowledge which is being imparted. Guru also takes responsibility for the spiritual uplift of the disciple. In this verse, Bhagawan also adds that in addition to his concern about Arjuna’s spiritual readiness, He is ready to impart the most confidential of all knowledge since He is also his dearest friend in this lifetime. God is our dearest friend whether we realize or know it. Let us treat Divinity as our dearest friend and confide to rid ourselves of all sorrow.
