Chapter 15
Here the Lord explains, that Vedas aim to enable a striver, to realize God, rather than to acquire, mundane pleasures. There is a description of the performance of actions for their fruits in the Vedas, because most of the people perform actions, for their fruits. Therefore, the Vedas, (being the mother of all beings) also nourish them.
It is verily He, who is to be known by all the Vedas, because without knowing Him, knowledge is imperfect.[1] Arjuna had a keen desire to know God. Therefore, the Lord declares that He, Who is to be known by all the Vedas, and scriptures, is sitting before him.
Vedantakrt:-The Vedas, were created hy Him (Gila 3/15; 17/23). Therefore, He can explain the principles of the Vedas and can reconcile the contradictions, that appear to exist, in them. So He declares, that He is the real knower of Vedas, and can give correct interpretation removing all doubts, pertaining to Vedas.
Vedavideva caham:- It is He, who knows the correct intention - of Vedas, because these have been created by Him.
Even scholars find themselves at their wits end, in giving a right judgment, on contradictions, in the Vedas, (Gita 2/53). They can know Vedas, in the right perspective and be free from contradictions, only by depending on God.
The Lord, in the first verse of this chapter declared, "He who knows this imperishable lripala tree, is the knower of the Vedas." But here, He declares, that He is the knower of the Vedas. It means, that the great soul who knows the reality about the world, becomes identified with God.
