Chapter-18.  Moksha-sannyasa-yogam.

=========================================================================

Very important slokam

Read carefully and  understand  well.

=========================================================================

Slokam-69. (with Translation) :

"na   ca   tasmanmanushyesu    kascinme    priyakrttamah,

bhavita   na   ca   me   tasmat    anyah   priyataro   bhuvi."

"There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translation :

ca  =  not  only  that;

tasmat   me  =  more  than  him  to  Me;

priyakrttamah   =   more  dear;

manmanushyesu    kascit   na   =  no  one  amongst  the  mankind;

te   tasmat   priyatarah  =  to  Me,  more  than  him,  dearer;

anyah  bhuvi  na   bhavita   ca   =  never  another  on this  earth. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhashyam (Vyakyanam) :

Continuing further Lord Krishna confirms that there is no human more pleasing or dearer to Him any where in creation which according to the Bhagavat Purana comprises 400,000 species of human beings; then the devotee of His who reveals Srimad Bhagavad-Gita to His devotees. 

Nor will there be anyone more dear or pleasing to Him in the future.

Lord Krishna now reveals why one who serves Him in the previous way certainly attains communion with Him and that is because among all the 400,000 species of human beings in the material creation as confirmed in Srimad Bhagavatam none is more exalted and dear to Lord Krishna then the devotee who imparts the knowledge of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita to His devotees and none will ever be more exalted and dear to Him in the future.

Lord Krishna affirms that there has never been in the past a human being out of all humanity who was more dear to Him then one who promulgates Srimad Bhagavad-Gita to His devotees; nor will they ever be one dearer to Him in the future. 

Priya-krttamah means pleases more by their actions. 

This extolling of the qualities of His exalted servitor is to illustrate the immense divide between the devotees of the Supreme Lord and those who are not devotees of the Supreme Lord.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p

( Jnana-vijnana-yogam ) Slokam-26- ( O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come.

Lord Krishna emphasises by the words mam tu veda na kascam which means that no one is able to know Him and because He is the controller of all, anywhere that He is not veiled is only by His express directive for His veiling is not for His devotees but for those who are
