64. Listen further to My Supreme word, the most secret of all. You are exceedingly dear to Me, so I shall speak for your benefit. Now listen once again to My clear talk, with special attention. It is not that I shall speak, because it is worth communicating or that you should hear, because it is worth hearing. In fact, fortune has favoured you, in the form of My talk. O Dhananjaya, the young of a tortoise is fed by the mere glance of its mother; and the sky pours rain for the chataka birds. In the same way, it is like securing the fruit, without undertaking any activity. Is there anything in this world, which man cannot secure, when fortune smiles upon him? This is the esoteric knowledge, in which one gets rid of dualism and enjoys the bliss of unity, in his very home (1341-1345). O dearest, that which is the object of our informal affection, is nothing else but the Self. When we cleanse the mirror, it is not for its sake but for our own sake, as we wish to look into it. In that way, O Arjuna, I am speaking for My own sake, making you an excuse. Now is there any duality between us? So I am telling you the secret of My heart. I am crazy about My single-minded devotees. The salt being enamoured of water surrenders itself completely to it and feels no shame in merging with it (1346-1350). In the same way, you do not keep back anything from Me and so why should I hide anything from you? Now listen to My great secret, before which all other secrets reveal themselves.
