Dhritarashtra listen through Sanjaya.
When Arjuna listened to the Bhagwat Gita; at the end what happened?
Bhagawat Gita Chapter 18 verses 73
My Moha is gone he said; my delusion is gone
arjuna uvācha
naṣhṭo mohaḥ smṛitir labdhā tvat-prasādān mayāchyuta
sthito ‘smi gata-sandehaḥ kariṣhye vachanaṁ tava
Translation
BG 18.73: Arjun said: O Infallible One, by Your grace my illusion has been dispelled, and I am situated in knowledge. I am now free from doubts, and I shall act according to Your instructions.
Dhritarashtra listened to the Gita thru Sanjaya; what was his reaction? Krishna is a grate cunning person
Arjuna does not want to fight but Krishna was so cunning, he manipulating and telling Arjuna to fight.
Same Bhagwat Gita, one feels Krishan is manipulative, another feels my life is transformed.
So what did we learn? It is the receiver’s knowledge, how you receive the knowledge
Therefore Vedas is called as what? Shruti - Shruit means listening and
Bhagwat Gita is a essence of Shruti the Vadas
