Remembering Again and Again
As I remember again and again this wonderful and sacred dialogue, I rejoice again and again.
Sanjaya finds his joy renewed through repeated remembrance of the dialogue. This models the proper relationship with scripture—not once-read but repeatedly contemplated. Each re-reading reveals new depths; each remembrance renews joy. The Gita is not consumed but savored, not exhausted but ever-fresh. This teaching encourages lifelong engagement with sacred text.
O King, as I repeatedly recall this wondrous and holy dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, I take pleasure, being thrilled at every moment.
This verse models the proper relationship with scripture—not one-time reading but lifelong contemplation that yields ever-fresh insight and joy.

- What the Bhagavad Gita says about grief
The book ends with Sanjaya saying that recalling the dialogue over and over thrills him each time. It is the Gita's own model of remembrance: not a wound reopened by repetition, but something that gives more each time you go back to it.
