Commentary
This supreme secret The teachings of the Gita as taught above in the form of a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna. Why is it called a supreme secret Because it helps one to attain immortality or freedom from the whell of birth and death. He alone; who has devotion; is alified to receive the teachings of the Gita. Teach with the faith that he is thus doing service to the Lord; the Supreme Teacher. Doubtless may also mean freedom from doubts.
