Each expression ofscripyures like gita is a hyper link to enormous wisdom
and can be accessed individually verse wise or as a sum / essence
if one is having the connectivity to his inner self,
all the essence of scripyures / gita opens from within , without the need of reading/listening of gita
without that inner connectivity , just reading literal meaning and interpretations will be superficial and incomplete”
First and foremost , earliest in life Shankracharya realized, experienced, stabilized in the transcendental pure consciousness, became yogastha, and hence was able to proclaim—-chidanda roopah, shivoham shivoham
and could give authentic bhashya of the gita , in the light of his own inner light ,
he validated the truth of gita by the strength of his experience of the self
was able to say”bhagavathgita kinchidhadheetha ……”
if he did not have the inner connectivity, he would not have done justice to such scriptures
scriptures reveal their essence, not thru just reading , but with the help of inner connectivity
so my emphasis is on gaining the inner connectivity first and foremost
if not nahi nahi rakshathi dukrun karani, just reading no help”
“Point must be noted by all spiritual explorers. that —–only a self realized master —–can provide the effective guidance,
and enables the aspirant to successfully gain the most essential self realization , in shortest time
Merely repeating scriptures will not lead to self realization
in fact , reading of any scripture is not a prerequisite ,
nor a means for self realization even under a pure devotee
self realization is ”going beyond ” every thing, including the scriptures,
as a result of self realization, one will gain the ability to access the inner scriptures , and starts expressing the same without prior reading , but his expression will tally those with scriptures
“Just reading no help

The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes.
Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety,
and be established in the self.
All material activities involve actions and reactions in the three modes of material nature. They are meant for fruitive results, which cause bondage in the material world. The Vedas deal mostly with fruitive activities to gradually elevate the general public from the field of sense gratification to a position on the transcendental plane. Arjuna, as a student and friend of Lord Krishna, is advised to raise himself—— to the transcendental ——”’

hence, the need of going beyond the naama, roopa, mahima, guna, leela, gaathaa, gaana, vaadya, naatya,
if not one is held up in the bhava sagar, innocently even in the name of bhakthi, devotion
once the transcendental unmanifest essence is owned, one gets the access / command / familiarity to the essence of all scriptures , vedas, gita, without reading at all ,
more over his life will be validating the scriptural truth naturally , without the imposition of rules dos donts or surrender bhakthi , pooja,
he lives ‘’yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam shambho thava aaraadhanam’’
the message of gita is ”go beyond ” , become muktha,
do not hang on at any level, even as bhaktha to a duality of ”me and he”
rise to ”thath thvam asi ””
