Yeah, it’s interesting that one way is that we go to the commentaries and then we derive the lessons that the Acharyas have brought to our attention but here what you’re saying is that if you see the text, you can use your intelligence if you come with an insight as to a deeper lesson that’s contained within the text if it’s in line with the Acharya’s way of thinking it follows the siddhanta of Guru Sarasastra and if it illuminates the ultimate sadhya and sadhana that the Gita is trying to establish then we can accept that that insight is bona fide and useful and enriching to our spiritual journey Yes I feel otherwise what do we mean by study from different perspectives Prabhupada said that we have our experience, we have our understanding we have our intelligence and we will see things from a particular perspective when we say bodhayanta parasparam I see from my perspective, you see from your perspective so the boundary would be that I would never contradict anything that a previous Acharya has said can give a different perspective so for example 110, the word aparyaptam Chakravarthipada and Baldev Devji give different meanings of that so aparyaptam, Chakravarthipada says that actually he means insufficient and Baldev Devji says it means immeasurable Duryodhana is comparing the two armies so there could be sometimes different perspectives but that does not necessarily mean that one is right and the other is wrong
