PHRASES IN THE GITA - 113
भूयः कथय तृप्तिर्हि शृण्वतो नास्ति मेSमृतम् ... (अध्याय १० - श्लोकम १८)
பூயஹ கதய த்ருப்திர்ஹி ஶ்ருண்வதோ நாஸ்தி மே(அ)ம்ருதம் ... (அத்யாயம் 10 - ஶ்லோகம் 18)
Bhooyah Kathaya Truptirhi Shrunvato Naasti Me(a)mrutam ... (Chapter 10 - Shlokam 18)
Meaning : I do not feel contented when I listen to Nectar like speech of yours ...
This phrase of words in the Gita reveals the wonderful relationship between the speaker and the listener . The mindsets of the two (speker and the listener) and mutual relationships make a speech nectar-like for the listener . The listener should have immense love for the speaker . Arjuna has that in plenty for Shri Krishna . Shri Krishna also has boundless love and affection for Arjuna . He expresses the same through words like "Ishto(a)si , Priyo(a)si" in the Gita .
The language and the words spoken are not important for the speech to be sweet and Nectar-like . The babbles of the child are nectar like for the parents . The words of each other are mutually sweet and nectar-like for the beloved husband and wife . The innocent blabber of disciple is sweet and nectar like for the Guru . The same way , Guru's eloquent discourse soaked in wisdom and Knowledge are never tiring nectar shower for the disciple . For the passionate patriot , words describing greatness of the Nation are nectar-like . The devotee is never contented while listening to Bhagawaan's Virtues and Graceful acts .
The speaker's mind set is also significant . The intention of his speech determines the impact caused on the mind of the listener . This impact itself reveals the intention of the speech. If thoughts on the speaker are aroused in listener's mind , (like "how beatifully does he talk" or "he seems so well read" etc .) then we may conclude that the speaker is speaking for self glorification , for applause and appreciation , for gratification of Ego . If thoughts aroused are on the idea expressed in the speech , then we may conclude that the speaker is devoted to the Idea and speaks for empowerment of the Idea . If the listener forgets self , plunges in to a state of Joy , then we may assume that the speaker also is speaking in a state of ectacy . Nay ! It would be wrong to say that he is speaking . He is just plunged deep in Blissful Joy and the speech pouring out from him . Such a speech is Nectar-like . The more one listens to such a speech , the discontented he feels .
The speaker Shri Krishna and the listener Arjuna here are in such a state and hence Arjuna says , "Oh Krishna ! You continue speaking . You elaborate in detail your Vibhooti (your attributes) . Your speech is Nectar Like . My thirst to listen more and more is never quenched" .
