You can approach Gita as Arjuna, with curiosity, OR as Dhritrashtra, with suspicion and judgement. What you take away will be your subjective truth ; your Gita.
The Gita itself values subjectivity : after concluding his counsel, Krishna tells Arjuna to reflect on what has been said, and then do as he feels ( Yatha ichasi tatha kuru )
Not a prescriptive 'dharma granth", shall we say.
