Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation

Bhagavad Gita 18.69

na ca tasmānmanuṣyeṣu kaścinme priyakṛttamaḥ | bhavitā na ca me tasmādanyaḥ priyataro bhuvi ||

No one among humankind does anything dearer to me than that person, and no one on earth will ever be dearer to me.

Modern context

No one is dearer to the divine than one who shares this teaching with love. The highest praise in the Gita goes not to the ascetic or the scholar, but to the one who passes on wisdom with care. It is a call to share what one has received. Light hoarded does little good; light passed on can illuminate many lives.
