Why: Krishna asks Arjuna directly whether he has heard this with a focused mind, and whether his delusion born of ignorance has been destroyed, checking in personally rather than assuming the teaching automatically landed without confirmation.
In life: it's a good practice, after giving someone important guidance, to actually check in directly and ask whether it landed, rather than assuming your explanation automatically worked without confirming it with the person you were speaking to.
Teaching: the next time you give someone important guidance, follow up by directly asking whether it actually landed and cleared up their confusion, the way Krishna does here, rather than assuming your explanation automatically worked without ever checking.
