Bhagavad Gita 18.72 · Krishna
Did you hear me?
कच्चिदेतच्छ्रुतं पार्थ त्वयैकाग्रेण चेतसा।
कच्चिदज्ञानसम्मोहः प्रनष्टस्ते धनञ्जय॥
kaccidetacchrutaṃ pārtha tvayaikāgreṇa cetasākaccidajñānasammohaḥ pranaṣṭaste dhanañjaya
Have you heard this with a focused mind, Partha? Has your confusion, born of not knowing, been destroyed, Dhananjaya?
What it means
Krishna asks two simple questions. Did you listen with full attention? And is your confusion gone? A good teacher doesn't just speak. He checks. The whole point of the Gita was to clear Arjuna's confusion. Now Krishna wants to know if it worked.
The story
The teacher who revealed the universe now gently asks his student, did it help? It's humble and deeply caring.
In your life
Imagine a doctor who, after explaining a diagnosis, asks, does that make sense, what else can I answer? Ask someone after a hard conversation, did that help?
Good teachers check that you understood.
