Bhagavad Gita 18.64

सर्वगुह्यतमं भूयः शृणु मे परमं वचः । इष्टोऽसि मे दृढमिति ततो वक्ष्यामि ते हितम् ॥

sarvaguhyatamaṃ bhūyaḥ śṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥ | iṣṭo'si me dṛḍhamiti tato vakṣyāmi te hitam ||

Hear once more my supreme word, the most secret of all. You are deeply loved by me, and so I will tell you what is good for you.

Modern context

'Hear once more my supreme word, the most secret of all. You are deeply loved by me.' The most secret teaching is not a doctrine; it is love. After eighteen chapters of philosophy, the deepest truth Krishna offers is that Arjuna is loved. Everything else is said because of that. Many readers find this the most moving verse in the whole Gita.
