Has this been heard, O Arjuna, with one-pointed focus? Has the delusion of your ignorance been destroyed, O Dhananjaya?
O Arjuna, have you listened attentively to My words? Has your ignorance and delusion gone?

हे पृथानन्दन ! क्या तुमने एकाग्र-चित्तसे इसको सुना ?और हे धनञ्जय ! क्या तुम्हारा अज्ञानसे उत्पन्न मोह नष्ट हुआ ?Commentary
It is the duty of the spiritual teacher or preceptor to make the aspirant understand the teaching of the scripture and to enable him to attain the goal of life (Moksha). If the student has not grasped the subject he will have to explain it in some other way with similes, analogies and illustrations. That is the reason why Lord Krishna asks Arjuna Has the delusion of thy ignorance been destroyed. This What I have told thee. Have you heard it? O Arjuna, with onepointed mind Have you grasped My teaching-Delusion of ignorance The absence of discrimination which is caused by ignorance and which is natural.
The destruction of delusion is the aim of all this endeavour on your part to hear the scripture and the exertion on My part as the teacher.
