Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Anasūyave means "who does not envy." Does not envy. Just like the Lord says: "I am the proprietor of all planets." Somebody may say: "Oh, Kṛṣṇa is claiming the proprietorship of everything. How is that?" Because in the material world we are always envious. If somebody is greater than me—I am envious, "Oh, he's . . . in that way he has so much progressed." We are envious. This is the disease of material world, envious. So we are envious of God also. When God says that "I am the proprietor," we disbelieve it. So here this very word is used, anasūyave.

Arjuna is hearing from Lord Kṛṣṇa without any enviousness. He's accepting what He, what does He say. This is the way of understanding. We cannot understand by our mental speculation what is God. We have to hear, and we have to accept. Otherwise, there is no way to understand what is God. So God says that "Because you are not envious, therefore, I speak to you about the most confidential part of knowledge." Jñānaṁ vijñāna-sahitam. Vijñāna-sahitam means this knowledge is not theoretical, but it is scientific. Whatever knowledge we get from Bhagavad-gītā, we should not think that it is sentimentalism or fanaticism. No. They're all vijñānam, science.
