GITA-SHLOKA-4.2, BHAGAVAD-GITA WAS NEVER MEANT FOR THE DEMONIC PERSONS. DEMONS DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD BUT SIMPLY ENJOY THE PROPERTY OF THE SUPREME, 18th July
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.
PURPORT
It is clearly stated that the Gita was especially meant for the saintly kings because they were to execute its purpose in ruling over the citizens.
Certainly Bhagavad-gita was never meant for the demonic persons, who would dissipate its value for no one's benefit and would devise all types of interpretations according to personal whims.
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 Gita appeared to be lost.
In the same way, at the present moment also there are so many editions of the Gita (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, Krsna, although they make a good business on the words of Sri Krsna.
THIS SPIRIT IS DEMONIC, BECAUSE DEMONS DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD BUT SIMPLY ENJOY THE PROPERTY OF THE SUPREME.
Since there is a great need of an edition of the Gita in English, as it is received by the parampara (disciplic succession) system, an attempt is made herewith to fulfill this great want.
BHAGAVAD-GITA—ACCEPTED AS IT IS—IS A GREAT BOON TO HUMANITY; BUT IF IT IS ACCEPTED AS A TREATISE OF PHILOSOPHICAL SPECULATIONS, IT IS SIMPLY A WASTE OF TIME.
Gita Shloka 4.3
TRANSLATION
That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science.
PURPORT
There are two classes of men, namely the devotee and the demon.
The Lord selected Arjuna as the recipient of this great science owing to his becoming the devotee of the Lord, but for the demon it is not possible to understand this great mysterious science.
There are a number of editions of this great book of knowledge, and some of them have commentaries by the devotees, and some of them have commentaries by the demons.
Commentation by the devotees is real, whereas that of the demons is useless.
Arjuna accepts Sri Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and any commentary on the Gita following in the footsteps of Arjuna is real devotional service to the cause of this great science.
The demonic, however, concoct something about Krsna and mislead the public and general readers from the path of Krsna's instructions.
One should try to follow the disciplic succession from Arjuna, and thus be benefitted.
