Purport

FORKLARING: Samtalen fandt sted mellem fortrolige venner, nemlig Hṛṣīkeśa og Guḍākeśa. Som venner var de begge på samme niveau, men en af dem overgav sig frivilligt til den anden som elev. Kṛṣṇa smilede, fordi en ven havde valgt at blive Hans discipel. Som Herre over alt befinder Kṛṣṇa Sig altid i en overordnet position som alles Herre, og alligevel indvilliger Han i at blive ven, søn eller elsker til en hengiven, der ønsker at se Ham i en sådan rolle. Men da Han blev antaget som mester, påtog Han Sig med det samme rollen og talte til disciplen som en mester, dvs. med den alvor, der var påkrævet. Det lader til, at samtalen mellem mester og discipel fandt sted i begge hæres påhør, så alle kunne drage fordel af den. Således henvender Bhagavad-gītās dialog sig ikke kun til en bestemt person eller et bestemt samfund eller land, men er for alle, og venner såvel som fjender har lige stor ret til at høre den.

The talk was going on between intimate friends, namely the Hṛṣīkeśa and the Guḍākeśa. As friends, both of them were on the same level, but one of them voluntarily became a student of the other. Kṛṣṇa was smiling because a friend had chosen to become a disciple. As Lord of all, He is always in the superior position as the master of everyone, and yet the Lord agrees to be a friend, a son or a lover for a devotee who wants Him in such a role. But when He was accepted as the master, He at once assumed the role and talked with the disciple like the master – with gravity, as it is required. It appears that the talk between the master and the disciple was openly exchanged in the presence of both armies so that all were benefited. So the talks of Bhagavad-gītā are not for any particular person, society, or community, but they are for all, and friends or enemies are equally entitled to hear them.
