Share it with care

idaṃ te nātapaskāya nābhaktāya kadācanana cāśuśrūṣave vācyaṃ na ca māṃ yo’abhyasūyati

Never speak this to one without discipline, without love, to one who does not want to listen, or who scorns Me.

What it means

Krishna gives a caution. Don't share this teaching with someone who has no discipline, no love, no wish to listen, or who mocks it. Not because it's secret, but because forcing wisdom on an unwilling heart rarely helps. Seeds need open soil.

The story

Krishna waited until Arjuna asked for help before teaching him. He models the same respect he's now asking Arjuna to show others.

In your life

Think of the relative who lectures everyone at dinner about their beliefs, and changes no one's mind. Share what moves you only when someone genuinely asks.
