Prabhupāda Says

Chapter 9
The Most Confidential Knowledge

śrī-bhagavān kahilen:
evāra he arjun śuna asūyā rahita
ei ek guhyatama kahi tava hita
ihā hay jñān ār vijñāna-sammata
jānile se mukta hay sarb aśubhata

Text 1

rāj-vidyā ei jñān rāj guhya kahe
pavitra uttam tāhā sādhāraṇ nahe
yāhāra sādhane hay pratyakṣānubhav
susukha se dharma hay avyay baibhav

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most confidential knowledge and realization, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence.
