Translator:
The Blessed Lord said, Again, O mighty-armed Arjuna, listen to my supreme word which I will declare to you, who are beloved, for your welfare.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: Krishna says he will speak further for Arjuna's benefit specifically because Arjuna delights in hearing him, since a listener's genuine interest changes what's worth sharing next.

In life: how much you actually share with someone often depends on whether they've shown real interest in hearing it, interest invites more openness.

Teaching: notice how showing genuine interest in someone's thinking tends to unlock more from them, and be that kind of interested listener if you want access to someone's fuller perspective.
