Without any bad intentions here some of my thoughts. > Ps: In understanding Gita verses, get the facts > (meaning) and think freely. evam parampara-praptam imam rajarshayo viduh sa kaleneha mahata yogo nastham parantapa TRANSLATION This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost. ------ As soon as the original purpose was scattered by the motives of the unscrupulous commentators, there arose the need to reestablish the disciplic succession. Five thousand years ago it was detected by the Lord Himself that the disciplic succession was broken, and therefore He declared that the purpose of the Gétä appeared to be lost. In the same way, at the present moment also there are so many editions of the Gétä (especially in English), but almost all of them are not according to authorized disciplic succession. There are innumerable interpretations rendered by different mundane scholars, but almost all of them do not accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, although they make a good business on the words of Sri Krishna. So many people just think there is some sentiment of people so let me use to become rich, or let me become a self proclaimed Bhagavan, like we see nowardays. So Lord himself is saying that the proper way to get the right meaning of gita is by learning from an acarya and school. > Don't be bound by any one set of thinking or > Bhashyam. There are three main pramanas: pratyaksha senses, so we can explain Gita in the way we perceive the world, but senses are limited. I can not see what is going on another part of the world anumana through mental logic thinking, here also we are bound by culture, education, social environment only shabda the transcendental sound and words of self realised people free from greed, anger and lust, illusion and desire to cheat people can be taken as the proper pramana > Gita is unlimited and should be studied that way to > get the full benefit of > the truth) Some people say we can take any path to reach the goal. So once there was a person who has met a saint and to some was a yogi asking where to find a hotel that he can take any path and he will reach the right destination. Anyone travelling next time to India, can just say give me any route, since everything is same. Is it logical, for me it isnt. Sorry.
