Why: know briefly, Arjuna, how one who has attained perfection also attains Brahman, that supreme culmination of knowledge, again promising a further, deeper stage even beyond the perfection just described, rather than treating that perfection as the absolute final endpoint.
In life: even significant, hard-won progress in your own growth often turns out to be a stage within a longer arc rather than an absolute final endpoint, there's usually further depth available beyond wherever you've currently arrived.
Teaching: treat your own significant, hard-won progress as a genuine milestone worth honoring, while also staying open to the idea that further depth remains available beyond it, rather than assuming you've now reached some final, complete endpoint.
