According to ÅšrÄ«la Bhakti Vinod ṬhÄkur (Vidvad-rañjan commentary, 9.1), the wisdom of self-realisation in the second and third chapters of ÅšrÄ« GÄ«tÄ are the profound (guhyam) teachings of Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa. The
Lord’s descriptions of Himself as the Supreme in the seventh and eighth chapters are more profound
