Translation
Uddhava said: O best of all speakers, please explain to me how I may properly attain such discrimination to remain tolerant.
Please tell me how I can attain discrimination to tolerate those situations.
Personal Guidance
Uddhava asks how he may properly understand this; even great teaching needs application-questions. Understanding is a request, not a status.
Reflection Questions
- When I receive teaching, do I ask how to apply it?
- What teaching is overdue for an application question?
