सर्वगुह्यतमं भूयः शृणु मे परमं वचः ।इष्टोऽसि मे दृढमिति ततो वक्ष्यामि ते हितम् ॥
sarvaguhyatamaṃ bhūyaḥ śṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥiṣṭo’si me dṛḍhamiti tato vakṣyāmi te hitam
Further hear the most secret, the supreme word that I shall speak to thee; beloved art thou intimately of Me, therefore will I speak for thy good.
Gītā 18·64This secret of secrets the Teacher will tell to Arjuna as his highest good because he is the chosen and beloved soul, iṣṭaḥ. For evidently, as had already been declared by the Upanishad, it is only the rare soul chosen by the Spirit for the revelation of his very body, tanum samām, who can be admitted to this mystery, because he alone is near enough in heart and mind and life to the Godhead to respond truly to it in all his being and to make it a living practice.
