IX: 1

[Krishna Jaya]

Chapter 9, Verse 1

 

Krishna says

 

“Because of your faith in me,

I will teach you

What wisdom is, Arjuna,

The most secret thing of all,

Open vision,

Direct and instant.

Know it and be free

Of suffering forever.”

 

Sri Krishna Prem:

 

“Throughout the world runs a tradition of a wondrous secret sought under different names through all the ages:  the philosopher’s stone, the elixir of immortality, the holy grail.  All these have been the object of a quest, and all are one if rightly understood.  No pen can ever write down this royal secret, nor can any lips reveal it, but it is written in the inmost heart of humanity and has lain there through countless ages, awaiting the day for you to tear away the veils of ignorance and experience its blazing truth in your heart.  There is no one, however mean or nasty, in whose heart it is not written, but few there are who read its life-giving words.”
