How can I conclude that Bhagavad Gita is the Highest knowledge of all the vedic literature available? Or it isn't?

And see for yourself the mercy of Krishna
As for highest knowledge, real highest knowledge comes from personal experience of Krishna's mercy which is the fruit of loving devotional service to His lotus feet. For example, we can read about Arjuna seeing Krishna's universal form with infinite legs, arms, faces, bellies, etc., but without seeing such a form ourselves we can never know what it was like for Arjuna to experience such a thing. Similarly without experiencing the nectar of devotional service we cannot know Krishna (or God) who is the absolute truth, at all.
Krishna says in the Gita "I know past, present, as well as the future, but Me no one knows."
Hare KRsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating prabhuji. To conclude, one has to study Gita - study as in not just read it, study it under a bonafide teacher in parampara. It is mentioned in the Gita itself that this is the Highest Knowledge and Krsna is God. Unless one has a little bit of faith in Krsna, it will not be possible to arrive at this conclusion.
One good way to begin is to read the Introduction to Bhagavad Gita As It Is - Srila Prabhupada has explained it very nicely.
Haribol,

Highest knowledge is transcendental knowledge about Absolute Truth, such knowledge we can find in Vedic scriptures as well as in Bhagavad Gita.
Such Absolute Truth nowhere is explaned so clearly as in Srimad Bhagavatam, but only those who are qualified enough can understand it in a way as it originally presented.
