The Discipline of the Supreme Person) — Chapter 15 (Bhagavadgītā
अर्जुन बोले--मुझपर अनुग्रह करनेके लिये आपने जो परम गोपनीय अध्यात्मविषयक वचनः अर्थात् उपदेश कहा, उससे मेरा यह अज्ञान नष्ट हो गया हैः ।।
arjuna uvāca—mayy anugrahārthaṁ tvayoktaṁ paramaṁ guhyam adhyātma-saṁjñitam | etad ajñānaṁ me naṣṭam || bhavāpyayau hi bhūtānāṁ śrutau vistaraso mayā | tvattaḥ kamala-patrākṣa māhātmyam api cāvyayam ||
Sinabi ni Arjuna: “Sa habag Mo sa akin, sinabi Mo ang kataas-taasan at pinakalihim na aral tungkol sa espirituwal na Sarili; dahil dito, naglaho ang aking kamangmangan. Sapagkat, O may matang gaya ng talulot ng lotus, narinig ko mula sa Iyo nang masinsinan ang paglitaw at pagkalusaw ng mga nilalang, at narinig ko rin ang Iyong di-nasisirang kadakilaan.”

Educational Q&A
Arjuna acknowledges that Kṛṣṇa’s most confidential adhyātma-instruction—given as an act of grace—destroys ignorance. True understanding includes both inner spiritual knowledge and a clear vision of cosmic processes (the arising and dissolution of beings), grounded in the recognition of the Lord’s imperishable nature.
On the battlefield discourse, Arjuna responds to Kṛṣṇa’s prior teaching by expressing that his confusion has been removed. He affirms that he has heard, directly from Kṛṣṇa, an extensive account of creation and dissolution and has grasped Kṛṣṇa’s eternal majesty—setting the stage for deeper revelation.
