Sanskrit to English Translation

Translator:
That same ancient yoga has been today taught to you by me, for you are my devotee and my friend; it is the supreme secret.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: Krishna tells Arjuna this same ancient yoga is being told to him now because he is a devoted friend, a personal transmission, not a generic lecture.

In life: some teaching only really lands when it comes through a relationship, not a manual.

Teaching: value the specific people who took the time to teach you something directly, and be that person for someone else rather than just pointing them to a resource.
