Question 1
What boundary does Krishna set around sharing the Gita’s teaching in verse 18.67? A It should not be given to one who lacks discipline, devotion, willingness to listen, or who mocks Krishna. B It should be forced on everyone, especially those who are hostile and unwilling. C It should be hidden from all sincere seekers because sacred wisdom must never be shared.

Question 2
How do verses 18.68-18.69 praise sharing this wisdom with devotees? A Teaching this supreme secret to devotees with devotion is deeply dear to Krishna and leads the teacher toward Him. B Teaching the Gita is discouraged because study and sharing weaken devotion. C Sharing wisdom is dear only when it wins debate against unwilling listeners. D Krishna says no service is dear to Him, so teaching has no special value.
The section balances 18.67. Wisdom should not be thrown at the hostile, but sharing it lovingly with receptive devotees is praised as high service.

Question 3
What value do verses 18.70-18.71 give to studying or hearing the Gita? A Studying the dialogue is Gyan-yajna, a worship through knowledge, and hearing it with faith and without malice brings liberation and auspicious results. B Study is useful only if it replaces devotion and action completely. C Hearing the Gita has no value unless the listener already knows every doctrine perfectly. D Knowledge-yajna means memorizing words without faith, reflection, or change.
Krishna honors both study and sincere listening. Learning itself can become worship when approached with faith and openness.
