Explicación

Krishna admits the difficulty of what he is teaching. Some see the self as a wonder, some speak of it as a wonder, some hear of it as a wonder, and even after hearing, no one truly knows it. The verse is honest about the limits of words. The self is not an object that can be pointed to, so understanding requires more than listening. For Arjuna, it is a gentle acknowledgement that the teaching may not settle his mind at once, and that wonder is a fitting response.
