Rāja-Vidyā Rāja-Guhya Yoga (राजविद्या राजगुह्य योग) — The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret
वेदाहं समतीतानि वर्तमानानि चार्जुन । भविष्याणि च भूतानि मां तु वेद न कश्चन
vedāhaṁ samatītāni vartamānāni cārjuna | bhaviṣyāṇi ca bhūtāni māṁ tu veda na kaścana ||
O Arjuna! Nalalaman Ko ang lahat—ang nagdaan, ang naririto, at ang darating; ang lahat ng nilalang at pangyayari. Ngunit walang tunay na nakakakilala sa Akin kung sino Ako, sapagkat ang Aking katotohanan ay hindi nasasaklaw ng mga salat sa pananampalataya at debosyon.

Educational Q&A
The Lord affirms divine omniscience—knowledge of past, present, and future—while stressing that true knowledge of the Divine is not merely intellectual; it requires śraddhā (faith) and bhakti (devotion). Without inner receptivity and devotion, the Supreme remains unrecognized.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra discourse, the Lord addresses Arjuna directly, revealing His transcendent status: He knows all temporal states of beings, yet ordinary people cannot comprehend Him. This prepares Arjuna for deeper revelations about the Lord’s nature and the path of devotion.
