It the final teaching of Krishna before he left the earth to his friend. It is available in Bhagavatham and it contains more than that availble in Gita. It can found in bhavatam.org in the net

[The Uddhava Gita is wonderful! I like it almost as much as I love the Bhagavadgita. Because it is Krishna's last teaching before he leaves, just before the advent of the Kali Yuga, and because his pupil is not the great warrior Arjuna, but an old man who asks for spiritual advice - this text has a different perspective, one that completes and fills in the other. I highly recommend it. Here is an excerpt from a recent translation.]:

 

Those who dwell in hell

And likewise

Those who dwell in heaven

Covet a life in this world

Because this world offers the opportunity

For both knowledge and devotion.

 

Neither heaven nor hell

Hold this promise.

 

A wise person

Prizes neither heaven nor hell –

 

Nor even to return again

To this world,

Where attachment to ‘I’ and ‘mine’

Is an enchantment

In which one can get lost.

 

-Krishna to Uddhava

‘The Uddhava Gita’

Dialogue 15, verse 12, 13

Translated by Swami Ambikananda Saraswati
