Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Verse 72 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eighteenth chapter, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, having completed His entire teaching, Krishna turns to Arjuna with a teacher's care. He asks whether Arjuna has listened with a one-pointed mind and whether his delusion of ignorance has been dispelled — a question that draws forth Arjuna's resolved and grateful reply.

✦ As told in scripture

Teachers of the Gita note that the Lord's loving question shows the mark of a true guru — one who ensures the disciple has truly understood; and tradition holds that the sincere study of the Gita, like Arjuna's listening, surely dispels the delusion of ignorance.

Recite this verse at the close of your Gita study, letting Krishna's question become a question to yourself: have I listened with a focused mind, and is my own delusion being dispelled?

The deepest wisdom is grasped only through attentive, one-pointed listening. By asking this, Krishna emphasises that sacred teaching must be received with full concentration, and He confirms whether Arjuna has absorbed it in that way.
'Ajnana-sammoha' is the delusion or confusion born of ignorance — the very bewilderment that overwhelmed Arjuna at the start. The entire purpose of the Gita is to destroy this delusion, and Krishna here asks whether that purpose has been fulfilled.
In the very next verse (18.73), Arjuna joyfully replies that his delusion has been destroyed and his understanding restored by Krishna's grace, and that he will act according to the Lord's word — confirming the success of the teaching.
