Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 16 verse 5

 Chapter 16 verse 5 

“The divine qualities lead to liberation, while the demoniac qualities are the cause for a continuing destiny of bondage. Grieve not, O Arjuna, as you were born with saintly virtues.” 

Bhagwan has called Arjuna different platitudes such as the sinless one and saintly one. This is not an empty encouragement. This complete knowledge cannot be given to a lay man, not even the greatest warrior of his time. That is not the spiritual qualification necessary to receive this knowledge. The qualities required to receive this knowledge directly from Bhagwan is countless lives of devotion, steadfastness in right actions, thoughts and following dharma. It is obtained by not just positive action but avoiding negative behavior as well.
