Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 3
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
In the seventh chapter, Jnana-Vijnana Yoga, Krishna begins to reveal knowledge of His divine nature combined with realisation. He prefaces this profound teaching by noting how rare it is for anyone even to seek spiritual perfection, and rarer still to truly know Him — emphasising the value of the wisdom about to be shared.
