Sanskrit

श्री भगवानुवाच भूय एव महाबाहो श्रृणु मे परमं वचः। यत्तेऽहं प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हितकाम्यया।।10.1।।

Transliteration

śhrī bhagavān uvācha bhūya eva mahā-bāho śhṛiṇu me paramaṁ vachaḥ yatte ’haṁ prīyamāṇāya vakṣhyāmi hita-kāmyayā

In plain words

You've asked hard questions, and you're still here—that matters. Krishna says: I speak the deepest truth not to those who have it all figured out, but to those whose hearts are honest and hungry, to those willing to be changed by what they hear. Your pain, your doubt, your willingness to keep seeking—these make you worthy of real answers.

Word by Word

śhrī-bhagavān uvācha the Blessed Lord said
bhūyaḥ again

paramam divine
vachaḥ teachings

te to you
aham I
prīyamāṇāya you are my beloved confidant
vakṣhyāmi say
hita-kāmyayā for desiring your welfare
Simplified Perspective

Krishna's opening to the Vibhooti Yoga is an act of supreme grace—He turns toward Arjuna not as a student seeking knowledge, but as a beloved soul ready to receive the deepest mysteries of divine manifestation. This is intimacy disguised as instruction: the Lord speaks only to those whose hearts have become worthy vessels through surrender and sincere questioning.

In our modern spiritual search, we too must cultivate this inner readiness—not through intellectual accumulation, but through genuine longing and the willingness to be transformed by what we hear.
