Without any bad intentions here some of my thoughts.

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.

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

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.
Yours
Damana Krishnan
