Translation

One who liberally disseminates this knowledge among my devotees is the bestower of Brahman. I give myself to him. Supuṣkalam means “abundantly.” I give myself to the person who gives Brahman (brahma-dāyasya). The genitive case means “to him” in this sentence.

Personal Guidance

One who disseminates this knowledge to His devotees gives the Absolute Truth, and to him the Lord gives His very own self. Sharing knowledge has uniquely high return.

Reflection Questions

Whom in my circle might I share this knowledge with?
What might the act of sharing teach me about it?
