English Translation of Commentary - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

18.63 Iti te etc. : The [path of] wisdom has been taught to you.

Yet, a clear reflection of the entire subject matter is shown here. Because it is the choicest one, the mind is never satisfied, when it is being elucidated and listened to. The most secret thing is being determined here. The method by which that is known, you must listen to now - so He says :-
