As a sacred text, the Gita embodies the highest spiritual mysteries and secrets. It contains the essence of all four Vedas. Its style is very simple and elegant, so that after a little study, one can easily follow its word structure. However, the thoughts behind these words are very deep and profound, so that even a lifetime of constant study may not reveal its end. This book will present new ideas every day. Therefore, the Gita is eternally new. And, deep reflection and faith will reveal profound meanings at every stage, appearing directly. In the Gita, the virtues, glory, essential nature, truth, mysteries, worship, and topics of action and knowledge are discussed in a way that is rarely seen in other books. As a scripture, the Gita is unparalleled, and there are no words within it that lack some beneficial thought. The Gita contains no words that can be described as flattery. Everything mentioned in it is faithful to the letter. To assume that the words of God, which are the very embodiment of truth, are exaggerated is to show disrespect to the words of God.The Bhagavad Gita is a summary of all scriptures. The essence of all scriptures is contained within it. And if it is called the very repository of all scriptural knowledge, it is not an exaggeration. By understanding the Bhagavad Gita fairly, one can automatically be led to an understanding of the truths contained in other scriptures, and no further study is necessary to obtain this knowledge.
The Mahabharata also says: "Vasharvashastra-mayi Gita" - "The Gita consists of all scriptures." (Bhishma-Parva, 44.4). However, even this statement is insufficient. Since all scriptures originate from the Vedas, which were revealed through the mouth of Brahma, and Brahma himself descended from the navel of the Lord, the distance between the scriptures and the Lord is very great. However, the Gita came directly from the lips of the Lord. Therefore, if it is declared to be superior to all scriptures, there is no exaggeration. The sacred sage Vedavvasa himself says: --"Gita kartavyam kimanyaih shastra sangrahaih. Yaswayam padmanabhasyamukhapadyaadvinissrita." (Mahabharata, Bhismapana, 43.1) "Only the Gita should be sung, heard, recited, studied, taught, contemplated, and assimilated. What is the purpose of collecting other scriptures? The Gita appeared directly from the mouth of Lord Vishnu, who is like a lotus flower."
Through the word "Padmanābha" in the poem, the author of the Mahabharata brought out exactly the idea that we have expressed. That is, the Bhagavad Gita originated from the lips of the same Lord from whose navel Brahma was born. And the Vedas, which are the source of all scriptures, were revealed through the mouth of Brahma.
