Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why the Uttar Gita was necessary if Arjun had already declared his liberation at the end of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. He begins by establishing a fundamental distinction: Krishna is Krishna, and Arjun is Arjun. While the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is predominantly the word of Shri Krishna, it also includes Arjun's words, such as his questions, counter-questions, and expressions of doubt. The speaker emphasizes that Arjun's statements do not carry the same weight or authority as Shri Krishna's. Just because Arjun's words are present in the scripture does not make them as valuable; one would not worship a verse spoken by Arjun with the same reverence as one spoken by Shri Krishna. Regarding the specific verse where Arjun claims his delusion is destroyed and he has regained his memory, Acharya Prashant clarifies that this is merely Arjun's own assessment of his state. It is what Arjun felt at that moment—that he was stable, free from doubt, and had attained knowledge. However, since these are Arjun's words and not Shri Krishna's, they lack ultimate authenticity. The true measure of Arjun's understanding is revealed shortly after the war when he confesses to Shri Krishna that he has forgotten the teachings because his mind was disturbed. This forgetting demonstrates that his understanding was superficial and not deeply rooted. This very situation necessitates the Uttar Gita. When Arjun admits his forgetfulness, Shri Krishna becomes slightly annoyed, calls him dull-witted and lacking in devotion, and states that he cannot repeat the entire discourse verbatim. This leads to the subsequent teaching known as the Uttar Gita. The speaker highlights the vast, dimensional difference between the Guru and the disciple. Their physical proximity and friendly relationship should not be mistaken for equality. There is a difference of thousands, even millions, of times between them. The relationship between Shri Krishna and Arjun is depicted as the typical dynamic between a Guru and a disciple, where the Guru is like a vast banyan tree and the disciple is like a blade of grass. Only a rare disciple ever reaches a state comparable to the Guru. Therefore, one should not be misled by their apparent closeness. On one hand, there is Krishna, who delivers the Gita's discourse, and on the other, there is Arjun, who is not even capable of remembering it, let alone having such profound knowledge emerge from within himself.
