The Lord says that even a human being in the lowest status of life, lowest status of life, or even a fallen woman or a mercantile man or a laborer class of man . . . the mercantile class of men, the laborer class of men and the woman class, they are counted in the same category, because their intelligence is not so developed.
But the Lord says they also, or even lower than them, māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ—not only they or lower than them, or anyone, it does not matter who is he, or who she is—anyone who accepts this principle of bhakti-yoga and accepts the Supreme Lord as the summum bonum of life, the highest target, highest goal of life, māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ, te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim (BG 9.32), that parāṁ gatim in the spiritual kingdom and the spiritual sky, everyone can approach. Simply one has to practice the system.
That system is hinted in the Bhagavad-gītā very nicely, and one can adopt it and make his life perfect and make a permanent solution of life. That is the sum and substance of the whole Bhagavad-gītā.
Therefore, the conclusion is that Bhagavad-gītā is a transcendental literature which one should read very carefully.
- Gītā-śāstram idaṁ puṇyaṁ
- yaḥ paṭhet prayataḥ pumān
- (Gītā-māhātmya 1).
And the result will be, if he properly follows the instruction, then he can be freed from all miseries of life, all anxieties of life. Bhaya-śokādi-varjitaḥ. All fears of life, in this life, as well as he'll get a spiritual life in the next life.
- gītādhyāyana-śīlasya
- prāṇāyama-parasya ca
- naiva santi hi pāpāni
- pūrva-janma-kṛtāni ca
- (Gītā-māhātmya 2)
So another advantage is that if one reads Bhagavad-gītā very sincerely and with all seriousness, then by the grace of the Lord, the reactions of his past misdeeds will not act upon him. The Lord says very loudly in the Bhagavad-gītā in the last portion, ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ (BG 18.66). The Lord takes the responsibility. One who surrenders unto the Lord, He takes the responsibility to indemnify, to indemnify from all reactions of sins.
