In plain words
'Teach me, revered master, please teach me'—with these words, Nārada approached him. This simple request, 'Teach me, master,' is the traditional formula of approach. Thus did Nārada draw near to Sanatkumāra, the supreme master of yoga who is fully established in the absolute. Seeing him approach with such perfect humility and in accordance with the sacred tradition, Sanatkumāra said to him: 'First tell me what you already know. Lay out your present understanding before me, and from that point onward, I will teach you what lies beyond.' When the master had said this, Nārada spoke.
Close to the Sanskrit
'Teach me, O Lord, teach me, O Lord'—thus indeed he approached. 'Teach me, O Lord' is the mantra. Nārada approached Sanatkumāra, the lord of yogis, who is most established in Brahman. To him, who had approached in accordance with protocol, he indeed said: 'Whatever you know concerning the Self, approach me by declaring that, saying "this I know"; then, beyond your knowledge, I will speak to you.' When he had spoken thus, he, Nārada, indeed spoke.
