Sa evayam maya tedhya yogah proktah puratanah I
Bhaktosi me sakha cheti rahasyam hetad uttamam II sloka 3
स एवायं मया तेध्य योगः प्रोक्तः पुरातनः ।
भक्तोऽसि मे सखा चेति रहस्यं हेतद उत्तमं ।। श्लोक ३
The same ancient yoga has been today told to you by Me, for you are my devotee and friend; and this secret is supreme indeed.
Secrecy is maintained in regard to many things worldly, because of selfishness or because of their being harmful if abused. The science of yoga remains secret not for these reasons, but because of the incompetency of man to pursue it properly. It becomes obscure when the right sort of people become rare in society. Now Arjuna, a worthy recipient has appeared and therefore a new revelation of yoga also ensues. What a man has made himself worthy of, that comes to him spontaneously. This fulfilment is called the law by some and the grace by others.
Arjuna is here beset with a doubt. He presents this in the next sloka.
