Does Krishna’s not being able to remember the Gita later in the Mahabharata prove that some higher being spoke the Gita through him?

So similarly we can also that the gulab jamun is not a lesser object than the gulab jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab jamun is not a than the jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab is not a gulab jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab jamun is not a lesser jamun is not a lesser object so similarly we can gulab jamun is not a lesser than the gulab jamun so that gulab jamun is not a lesser object than the jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab is not a so also say that gulab jamun is not a lesser object than the gulab jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab jamun is jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab is not a lesser than we can also say that gulab not a lesser object than the gulab jamun so similarly we can also say gulab is not a gulab jamun so similarly we can also say that gulab is not a lesser object than so similarly we can also say that gulab not a object than so similarly we can also say that gulab not a the gulab so we can also say that gulab not a lesser gulab jamun so similarly we can that not a lesser object the gulab jamun so similarly we can that gulab lesser object than so similarly we can also say gulab not a lesser object than the gulab jamun similarly we can also say that gulab not a than the gulab jamun similarly we can also say that gulab not a lesser object than the gulab similarly we can that gulab lesser object than gulab jamun similarly that gulab not a lesser object than the gulab jamun similarly we can also say gulab not a lesser object than the similarly we can also say that gulab not a lesser object the gulab that gulab not a object than the gulab also say that not a lesser object than the gulab jamun in gulab can are not going to be there and therefore Krishna is saying I will not speak that message now but Krishna in essence gives the same message and we have to look at this point to recognize that there will be a core message that will stay common but there will be a contextual periphery that will vary. So if you look at the Bhagavad Gita itself in 4.1 Krishna tells Arjuna that I gave this message to the Sun God. So now when Krishna is saying that I spoke this message to the Sun God.
So is it that when Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita he would have spoken this verse also? Oh I spoke this message to Sun God. No. This is something which is a part of the context and Krishna will not speak to Sun God.
He would have spoken the same essential message but in a different context. The contextual part will change. Just like we have in the start of the same Mahabharata it is described that there is Mahabharata of different sizes for different people at different levels.
So the Mahabharata for the Devatas is much much bigger than what the Mahabharata is for the Manavas. Similarly, so why? Because although the essential content will be the same according to the context certain things will be expanded, certain things will be concentrated, certain things will be elaborated, certain things will be not spoken or certain things will be spoken for the context only. So like that, so when Krishna says that I cannot speak the message of the Gita, he just speak essentially the same message but contextually there is a difference.
So if it were that Krishna did not have the power to speak the Gita at other times at all then what that would mean if that were true then Krishna would not have been treated as a worshipable being anywhere else in the Mahabharata. We see that all the great sages are present and when all the great sages are present in Yudhishthira’s Rajasuya Yajna, so all those sages second the proposal that Krishna should be offered the Agra Puja and even Devdodas are present they also agree and again there is no hint over there anywhere that actually this worship is being offered to the Brahman. So and similarly there is Vishnu Kitama in the final moments, he is offering worship to Krishna as the highest being in the Vishnu Sahasrana.
So if you look at the complete context of the Mahabharata, it’s not only the Mahabharata does not talk about Krishna’s divinity only in the context of the Bhagavad Gita that although the Mahabharata focuses primarily on the Pandavas, still Krishna’s divinity is pointed to on many occasions. So Krishna, no other character in the Mahabharata displays the Vishwaroopa and Krishna displays the Vishwaroopa several times. So the point is we cannot just take one pastime, different people can take different pastimes and they can interpret it according to their worldviews.
But if we look at the complete picture, then that particular interpretation will not be able to withstand serious intellectual scrutiny. But if somebody wants to interpret, certainly any pastime can be interpreted in any way to fit one’s own worldview. So we as devotees, rather than getting disturbed by such interpretations, what we can focus on is, firstly, understanding the broad plan, plan of progression that is there within the Vedic scriptures.
And secondly, if we can look at the content and the context of the Gita to confirm, to get a confirmed understanding of Krishna’s supreme transcendental position.
