Thus I have taught you this most secret teaching, O sinless one. Understanding it, a person becomes wise and has accomplished all that is to be accomplished, O Bharat.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे निष्पाप अर्जुन! इस प्रकार यह अत्यंत गोपनीय शास्त्र मैंने तुमसे कहा। हे भारत! इसे जानकर मनुष्य ज्ञानवान और कृतकृत्य हो जाता है।
Commentary
Krishna calls this short chapter a complete shastra, a scripture in itself, and the "most secret" (guhyatamam). Krita-kritya means "one who has done all that needs doing": nothing essential remains. That is why this chapter is often called the essence of the Gita and read on its own.
