When Krishna accepts all kinds of people in the Gita, why doesn’t Prabhupada accept all of them in his purports?

I have seen some differences in the Bhagavad gita and just wanted to know your thoughts regarding this. In the last two slokas of chap 2, nos 71 and 72, lord Krishna says in his sloka something like who ever is devoid of proprietorship and one who is not attached to the enjoyment of mundane things and one who does not have ego, only such a person can attain real peace and in the next sloka (72) he says that if a person attains such a mentality even at death he enters the kingdom of god after death. But in the purport srila prabupada writes the commentary as a person in Krishna consciousness is naturally devoid of proprietorship and ego and as a result after death he enters the kingdom of god and this is the proper way and so on. But in the sloka lord Krishna does not in any way bring himself up in front at all. There are other slokas where he says just surrender unto me, follow me, think of me always and so on . the purport holds good for that sloka but not here. Why is this difference. I find this difference throughout bhagavad gita and I can go on giving examples. My question is this prabu, lord Krishna accepts all kinds of people with different kinds of mentalities, but srila prabupada does not accept everyone or approve all the ways and sticks to just one way and derides all other ways. Simply put he does not accept gnana yoga, karma yoga or dhyana yoga. He calls all these yogas as bhakthi yoga when the lord sri Krishna himself does not call that way and it is another strange thing. How is this possible and please enlightenment on this.
