iti te jñānam ākhyātaṁ guhyād guhyataraṁ mayā vimṛśyaitad aśeṣeṇa yathecchasi tathā kuru

Meaning

"Thus I have explained to you this knowledge, more secret than all secrets. Reflect on it fully, and then do as you wish."

Explanation

Even after sharing such profound teaching, Krishna doesn't demand blind obedience — he asks Arjuna to think it through and then choose freely. Real wisdom respects your freedom to reflect and decide for yourself.
