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.
