That original spiritual disciplic succession was broken, but now we can receive the same message by studying Bhagavad-gita. In Bhagavad-gita Krishna speaks to Arjuna just as in a far distant time He spoke to the sun-god. If we accept the words of Arjuna and Krishna, it may be possible for us to understand Bhagavad-gita, but if we want to interpret it in our own way, the results will be nonsensical.
The best way to understand Bhagavad-gita is to accept a bona fide spiritual master. This is not very difficult. Arjuna says that he accepts all that Krishna has said to him because Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
