Gita are the words of God

The Gita is the very life-breath, the heart, and the verbal image of the Lord. He who has his heart, speech, body and all his senses and their functions imbued with the Gita is the very embodiment of the Gita. His very sight, touch, speech and though lend supreme sanctity to others, to say nothing of those who follow his percept and example. Really speaking, no sacrifice, charity, austerity, pilgrimage, religious vow, self-restraint and fasting etc. stand comparison with the Gita.

The Gita contains words directly emanating from the lips of Bhagavan Sri Krisna. Its compiler is Maharsi Vyasa. The Lord uttered parts of His discourse in verse, which the compiler Vyasa recorded exactly as they emanated from His lips. the part of its uttered in prose was versified by the compiler, and the words of Arjuna, Sanjaya and Dhrtarastra were similarly versified by him in his own words, and divided the book of seven hundred verses into eighteen chapters, he made it an organic part of the Mahabharata. This is how the book has come down to us.

Gita and Gayatri

The Gita is superior even to the the Gayatri. Through the practice of Japa of the Gayatri man attains liberation, no doubts. But he who practices Japa of the Gayatri secures liberation only for himself; whereas the student of the Gita liberates not only himself but others as well. When the Dispenser of liberation, God Himself, becomes his own, Mukti becomes a trifling affair to him. It takes up its abode in the dust of his feet. He makes a gift of Mukti to anyone and everyone who asks for it.
If we declare the Gita as greater even than God, there will be no exaggeration. The Lord Himself says:

I take My stand on the Gita, the Gita is my supreme abode. I maintain the three worlds on the strength of the wisdom contained in the Gita.

Glory of the Gita (continued...)

The Gita is an epitome of all the scriptures. The essence of all the scriptures is to be found in it. And it would be no exaggeration, indeed, if it is called the very storehouse of all scriptural knowledge. for a mastery of the Gita may lead one automatically to a comprehension of the truths contained in the other scriptures and no separate study is required to obtain this knowledge.
The Mahabaharata also says

"The Gita comprises of all the scriputres"

But this statement too is inadequate. For all the scriptures have originated from the Vedas, the Vedas were revealed through Brahma's mouths, and Brahma himself took his descent from the Lord's navel. In this way, a great distance separates the scriptures from the Lord. But the Gita has emanated directly from the lips of the Lord; hence there will be no exaggeration if it is declared as superior to all the scriptures. The devine sage Vedavyasa himself says:

"The Gita alone should be sung, heard, recited, studied, taught, pondered and assimilated properly and well. What is the use of collecting other scriptures? Fro the Gita has emerged directly from the lotus like lips of God Vishnu Himself"

Glory of the Gita

The Bhagavadgita contains divine words emanating from the lips of God Himself. Its glory is infininte, unlimited. None can really describe it. Even Sesa, the thousand headed serpant-god, whose back forms the couch of God Vishnu, and Siva and Ganesa, cannot fully depict this glory. How can a puny mortal expect to do it?

The Epics and Puranas etc., have sung the glory of Gita at many places; but if all those words of praise are brought together, even then it cannot be declared that the praise of the Gita has been exhausted. The fact is that a full description of the glory of the Gita is never possible. For how can thing which can be fully described remain unlimited?

It at once becomes fininte and limited.

As a scripture, the Gita embodies the supreme spiritual mystry and secret. It contains the essence of all the four Vedas. Its style is so simple and elegant taht after a study man can easily follow the structure of its words; but the thought behind those words is so deep and abstruse that even a lifelong, constant study does not show one the end of it.
