Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the only necessary scripture because Shri Krishna declared himself as God. He clarifies that in Vedanta, there is no concept of a creator God as commonly understood; instead, the highest value is Truth. He explains that while God is often associated with the reality of the universe, Truth is that in which the universe and all gods dissolve. He further notes that if the Gita is considered to have a supernatural source, the same can be said of the Vedas, which are traditionally believed to have originated from Brahma. Therefore, the Upanishads, being part of the Vedas, are equally significant. He emphasizes that a scripture should be valued by its power to lead one to the Truth rather than its source or the mental concepts it provides.
