[Ms. Thrylokya asked:-]
Swami replied:- The main and ultimate essence of the Bhagavad Gita is only that contemporary human incarnation is only relevant to the humanity on earth. Krishna was a human being born to human beings called Vasudeva and Devaki. Throughout the Bhagavad Gita, He told thousands of times that He was the ultimate God. Without grasping this main point, even if you read the Gita for thousands of times, there is no use. The previous human incarnation called Rama never told that He was God because He was acting like an ideal human being without exposing even a trace of His divinity. Only sages could understand Rama as God through their power of penance. Ordinary public never thought that Rama was God.
Krishna never told in the Gita that He is the only human incarnation and also did not say that He will not come again as human incarnation in the future. God Krishna told very clearly that whenever there is need, He will come as human incarnation and establish justice in both Pravrutti and Nivrutti. God Krishna expressed His full divinity as human incarnation so that nobody can have even an iota of doubt about His divinity. For the upper energetic worlds, energetic incarnations of God (like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, etc.) exist clearly. It is a long misunderstanding that God is not available on this earth. This misunderstanding is removed by the Bhagavad Gita and hence, the Bhagavad Gita has a special place among the three holy scriptures (Prasthaanatrayam).
