Bhagavad Gita, the teachings of Lord Krishna contained truth but only truth. Nothing in Bhagavad Gita diluted with time. As much it was applicable 3600 years before is also applicable now. On mother earth there was nothing more pure, more sacrosanct than 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita.
Bhagavad Gita is not a religious document; it deals only with pure spirituality, the inner truth. Hundreds of translations, commentaries on Bhagavad Gita exist in this world, most indulged by religious or so-called spiritual teachers. Mahavira, 24th Tirthankara of Jainism rightly said, “Do not preach unless you become a Jina, a bodhi… a Mahavira. If something diluted, it was teachings contained in such fallacious translations.
In present times of evolution only by following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita human beings reached stage of enlightenment. If preaching of Bhagavad Gita diluted with time, how could human beings gain enlightenment in present life? Stage of enlightenment could never be reached following religious precepts contained in sacred scriptures of different religions of world, other than Hinduism.
If people feel that something in Bhagavad Gita was contradictory, not valid in present times, we simply failed to realize the hidden underlying true meaning. To understand Bhagavad Gita our indulgence in path of contemplation was mandated by God. Nothing in Bhagavad Gita could be understood literally. It practically demands reading in between the lines. Only because we could not reach, one cannot say the grapes were sour. There was nothing nobler in entire world than teachings of Bhagavad Gita.
