Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 71

 Chapter 18 verse 71               

“Even those who only listen to this knowledge with faith and without envy will be liberated from sins and attain the auspicious abodes where the pious dwell.” 

Spiritual enlightenment is a process over multiple life times. Arjuna gained this knowledge from Bhagawan due to his efforts from multiple lives and his current life of a devout kshatriya. The path is long but not impossible. A traveler can start the journey irrespective of where they are at a particular point in life. The requirements are just two fold-a guide or a map to the path and the intention to travel on the path. Anyone who has the right intention and listens to this Bhagavat Gita with faith and sincerity with no malice or ill will in their hearts, should be able to benefit immensely from the teaching irrespective of whether they are ready for this intellectually or not. Over time, everyone is supposed to get to this path and reach the destination. There are no exceptions and inhibitions. None is superior or inferior for the Divine Lord in this Universe. Everyone is on their own path and at their own pace. Intention to reach the GOAL is the key ingredient necessary for the journey to culminate where it needs to reach.
