A scripture earns our respect because a revered name is attached to it. A teacher earns our faith because everyone around us seems to believe in him. But have we actually examined either one closely ā the text itself, or the person explaining it to us? Does the Gita hold value because Krishna is said to have spoken it, or does Krishna only become knowable through the Gita? And when someone stands before us claiming to teach, on what basis do we decide whether he's worth listening to at all? In this video, Acharya Prashant explores whether the Bhagavad Gita's authority rests on its association with Krishna, or whether it is the Gita that makes Krishna knowable in the first place. The conversation examines what it actually means to worship a text, why reverence built on ritual and inherited belief falls short of real engagement, and how understanding itself becomes a form of devotion. It then turns to a more personal question: how does one judge a spiritual teacher, and who gets to decide if a teacher is worth following? Key Points: ā¢ Does the Gita need Krishna, or does Krishna need the Gita? ā¢ Is worship something we perform, or something we understand? ā¢ Who gets to decide if a teacher is worth trusting? āāāāāā š§ Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFweIdHB0vfcoizFcET?si=c8f9a6ba31964a06 Music Credits: Milind Date ~ ~
