Krishna opens the chapter by establishing the precise condition under which the ultimate truth is revealed. He declares: Now (tu), I shall explicitly speak and reveal (pravakṣyāmi) to you this most profoundly secret and confidential truth (idaṃ guhyatamaṃ). Why? Specifically because you are completely free from envy, jealousy, and a fault-finding nature (anasūyave). I will give you this theoretical knowledge (jñānaṃ) perfectly combined with its direct, experiential realization (vijñāna-sahitaṃ). Having truly known and grasped this (yaj jñātvā), you will be completely liberated and set free from all that is inauspicious, miserable, and evil (mokṣyase 'śubhāt).
