Having completed the exposition of sreyas, felicity, as Arjuna sought (2.7), Krishna gives his valedictory remarks. In this, he raises the message from its limited personal status to a broad-based, ever-relevant, eternal one!

When it began, it was a war-field discussion. As it progressed, enlarged, diversified and became conclusive, it assumed its eternal dimension, encompassing the whole world. Consequently Krishna wants the message to be reached to as many seekers as possible.

He who undertakes this mission, cherishing it himself and wishing to delight others with its inner nourishment, deserves all approbation and reward. It is a mission society needs always. And not many will be willing and equipped to conduct it with relish.

Majority of people chase sensory knowledge and objects, and the prosperity they fetch. Spiritual wisdom, knowledge of the Subject, is rarely sought and given. The one imparting it surely reaches the Supreme.
