Translation

Hear again My supreme word, most secret of all; for you are dearly beloved of Me, I will tell you what is good.

Hindi translation

सबसे अत्यन्त गोपनीय वचन तू फिर मेरेसे सुन। तू मेरा अत्यन्त प्रिय है, इसलिये मैं तेरे हितकी बात कहूँगा।

Meaning

Now listen once more with rapt attention to My words. Thou art very dear to Me. Thou art a sincere aspirant. Therefore I am telling thee this most mysterious truth. Hear from Me this mystery of all mysteries. I shall tell it to you again to make a deep impression on your mind, although it has been declared more than once. I do not hope to get any reward from thee. Thou art My most beloved friend and disciple. Therefore I will speak what is good for thee, the means of attaining Selfrealisation. This is the supreme good or the highest of all kinds of good for thee.
