Why: what the knowers of the Vedas call the imperishable, which ascetics free from passion enter, and which seekers of liberation strive for, Krishna will briefly describe, promising a distillation of a vast body of tradition into something manageable.
In life: sometimes the most useful thing someone can do for you is distill an overwhelming amount of accumulated knowledge into something you can actually act on directly.
Teaching: when you're overwhelmed by too much information on a topic, look for someone credible who can distill it down, the way Krishna offers to do here, rather than trying to absorb everything at once yourself.
