Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
And this knowledge concerning Me, as borne out by My own experience, I shall relate to thee in full. — In the latter portion of the verse the Lord extols the knowledge which is going to be taught, with a view to prepare the hearer to follow it. — Nothing more; no other means to a human end. He who knows Me in truth becomes omniscient. Thus the knowledge is productive of great results and is therefore very hard to obtain.
