This is not the same kind of "perfection" Srila Prabhupada is referencing in

the Introduction. This is your mistaken speculation.

 

Srila, you are always warning all of us to beware of offenses to NM when you

have come extremely close to offending your own guru and his books. Do you

really think Bhagavad-gita As It Is (which means it contains the pure devotees

purports) is only capable of delivering "liberation" (which you seem to scoff

at also)? Are you liberated yet? I doubt it. Why then do you jump so far past

Bhagavad-gita As It Is?

 

"Lord Caitanya preached this system of Bhagavat-dharma, and He recommended

that all those who were born in India should take the responsibility of

broadcasting the messages of Lord Sri Krsna, primarily the message of

Bhagavad-gita. And when one is well established in the teachings of

Bhagavad-gita, he can take up the study of Srimad Bhagavatam for further

enlightenment in self-realization." SB 1.1.21

 

 

Personally, I feel Sri Arjuna attained a level which is far, far superior to

anything I can even dream of as the result of the Bhagavad-gita. Until I reach

that level I am not going to leave the gita behind.

 

 

"Learned men, therefore, must be cautious of this dangerous age, and if they

at all want to cross over the dangerous ocean of Kali, they must follow the

footsteps of the sages of Naimisaranya and accept Sri Suta Goswami or his

bonafide representative as the captain of the ship. The ship is the message of

Lord Sri Krsna in the shape of Bhagavad-gita OR the Srimad Bhagavatam." SB

1.1.22.
