इदं ते नातपस्काय नाभक्ताय कदाचन । न चाशुश्रूषवे वाच्यं न च मां योऽभ्यसूयति ॥ ६७ ॥
idaṁ te nātapaskāya nābhaktāya kadāchana na chāśhuśhrūṣhave vāchyaṁ na cha māṁ yo ’bhyasūyati
Translation
This should never be told to one who lacks austerity or devotion, nor to one who does not wish to listen, nor to one who scorns Me.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यह (गीता का उपदेश) तुम्हें कभी भी न तो तपरहित मनुष्य से कहना चाहिए, न भक्तिरहित से, न सुनने की इच्छा न रखने वाले से, और न ही उससे जो मुझमें दोष देखता है।
Commentary
Krishna gives guidance on sharing the teaching. It is not a secret to be hoarded, but it should not be forced on people who are unwilling, mocking or hostile. A teaching given to someone not ready for it is usually misunderstood or ridiculed.
