Translator:
He who, with supreme devotion to Me, teaches this supreme secret to My devotees, shall undoubtedly come to Me.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: one who teaches this supreme secret to my devotees, having shown the highest devotion to me, will doubtlessly come to me, framing the act of sincerely sharing this teaching with a ready recipient as itself a valuable, meaningful act.

In life: sincerely sharing something genuinely valuable you've learned with someone actually ready to receive it is itself a meaningful, worthwhile act, not merely a neutral transmission of information.

Teaching: when you do find someone genuinely ready to receive an important insight you've gained, take the act of sharing it seriously as meaningful in its own right, not just as a neutral favor or informational exchange.
