Jesus(The son of God) had said in bible "I have so much to give u but u can't bear it now" While KRISHNA(The Supreme) whose supremacy is declared in all vedas shastras and puranas said
" O Arjun the transidental knowledge which I have given to u nothing can be added or removed".

Both the Gita and the Bible contain the "truth". The Gita is good from a Hindu perspective just as the Bible is from a Christian perspective.
Please don't mess the two up. Be rational please!

Geetha or bible or Quran or even many books are given to us to read and take the good once from it to lead a good life and bad once to avoide and warn us not to be like that. Everything is best. you cannot say this or that is better. First understand the funtamentals of this why would have these books been created in the world. Don't confuse yourself by asking which is better.

What you believe in is the best......the book you can best understand and which you feel easy to follow and understand.......both can not be compared as both teach the same.....those who say that one book is better then the other are according to me too narrow minded and they the ones who are directly or indirectly related to terrorism......if the muslims who say that their book is the best and the others are not are termed as terrorists then the christians , hindus , sikhs, jews, budhhists, jains, etc......who say the same are also terrorists according to me......because they are further fueling the war.........i just saw many answers given by some people and felt sad at their plight.....they have not read much and are just like sheeps who follow blindly......these books can not be judged and for commenting on them one should have throughly read and understood them.....but the answers given by some shows their lack of knowledge.

I know gita is incomparable and priceless and at the same time, truth cannot be higher or lower. If jesus said even litttle of what lord Krishna said, it only makes truth but not lesser.

From your statements it is clear that each of them has addressed people of different calibers.
The statement of the bible you have addressed is for someone who is evolving and faithful and has just started to get guided towards evolution.
Arjuna was a mature individual in terms of his mental and intellectual compositions and their Krishna has to block him from vain arguments. So he has put the final message in many ways (in different chapters).
So all sages address specific people in specific ways based on their composition. It is wise for us to decide which suits us and follow suit.
The ideal way is to try the base faith of your culture first and then the remaining ones.

every religion should be treated equally becoz the main aim of these sacred books is to guide people towards the right direction, to follow the path of humanity so be it the gita, the kuran or the bible they are all good

Gita is written in India by Indians, whereas bible and quran is mainly centered around Egypt, Palestine, Isreal, around those countries, written by their contrymen. Each fool thinks his religion is greatest.

the gita of course, it is so transcendental, the highest flight is the gita and is also a master piece of litterature. the oldest, the most brillant and sophitiscated holy scriptures ever written. not by the bloody aryan but by the indians themselves, so ahead of their time
don t ask yourself the question, the answer is obvious.

Can there be harmony in conflict? By approaching conflict in harmony, you can resolve it. And harmony comes with an attitude of wonderment and open-mindedness. Buddha took a flower and looked at his students silently.
He asked them to respond. Each student interpreted it according to his own philosophy. Mahakashap got up and smiled. Buddha gave the flower to him and said, "You have interpreted it correctly".
In his smile every cell of his being was in a state of wonder. In every moment of our life why can't we see with totality and not in a partial way? Just by looking at things with appreciation, we can avoid conflict altogether.
What is the essence of the Bhagavad Gita? The Gita teaches us the art of being total. Use your actions in an attitude of karma yoga, use your feelings in devotion in bhakti yoga, use your intellect for right understanding in jnana yoga and use your being in silence in dhyana yoga.
When there is conflict we tend to counter it with conflict. War is conflict and Gita presents a harmony that could lead to inner tuning. The Gita's message is: "Create harmony in conflict".
In the art of archery, "losing the arrow" is the most important aspect... Archery is only a preparation for the final "let go" of the arrow. Similarly, in life it is the "let go" of the ego which is most important.
Like in archery the anxiety to hit the shot dilutes and pollutes one's effort to hit the target. In life the anxiety to reach one's goals ravages one's life.
In the context of war the value of spiritual lessons is more, as one experiences tension... In martial art if someone twists your wrist and if you resist it, you may break your wrist.
But if you go with the flow rather than go against the flow, you are in a state of harmony. As you go with the flow then you counter-attack your opponent in the flow. This is creating harmony in conflict.
Most difficulties in dealing with conflict arises out of stress and tension. When you are in great tension, don't fight with it, just flow with it and then see the cause of the tension and handle it.
You see, there is a sharp distinction between worrying and worrying effectively. I feel like a sheep and I want to be strong. Has the Gita got something to say about this? Arjuna wanted to leave the battlefield.
Krishna tells Arjuna to face life and not run away from the conflict. Our conflicts exist because of our unconscious. Our prison habits created by the unconscious is making us live like sheep.
A lion lives alone and has the courage to face the dangers of life. A sheep lives in a crowd and has an illusion that the crowd will protect it. The sheep represents a part of our society and the lion represents our pure inner state.
The Bhagavad Gita helps us to tune to our inner pure state and denounce the illusion of security. Life is insecure, so face it courageously, says the Gita.
Clarity, courage and wisdom are true security. Learn to draw energy from that state and not from illusion. Then you will see the difference.
