When Sai Baba asked for the meaning of the Gita verse, Nana Chandorkar responded with great reverence and humility. Chapter 39 describes him joining his hands in joy and replying with sweet words. He presented the standard explanation based on his extensive knowledge of Gita commentaries, including those by Shankara and others. He explained that knowledge is gained through prostration, service, and questioning a Guru. After Nana presented this meaning, the text notes that Sai Samarth accepted the meaning of the first two lines of the explanation, which implies that he had a different or more profound interpretation for the rest, setting the stage for his unique teaching.
