Translator:
I believe all that You have said to me to be true, O Krishna; indeed, O blessed Lord! Neither the gods nor the demons know Your manifestation (origin).

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: Arjuna states he believes all of this to be true, and that neither gods nor demons know Krishna's actual manifestation, expressing genuine, settled belief rather than lingering doubt at this point in the conversation.

In life: there's a recognizable difference between still working through doubt about something and having genuinely arrived at settled belief, and it's worth being honest with yourself about which state you're actually in.

Teaching: be honest with yourself about whether you're still actively working through doubt on an important question or have actually arrived at something closer to settled belief, the appropriate next action differs depending on which is true.
