Bhagavad Gita 10.1

भूय एव महाबाहो श्रृणु मे परमं वचः। यत्तेऽहं प्रीयमाणाय वक्ष्यामि हितकाम्यया॥

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

Translation

The Blessed Lord said: Again, O mighty-armed, hear thou My supreme word, that, desiring thy welfare, I will declare to thee who art beloved.

What it means

Hear again My supreme word, which I will declare to you, beloved, for your good. Repetition is framed as affection. The teacher repeats because the listener matters.

Try this today

The teacher repeats willingly for a loved student: asking again is not failure.

Something to reflect on

Do I let people ask me again - and do I ask again without shame?
