Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation
Bhagavad Gita 18.71
श्रद्धावाननसूयश्च शृणुयादपि यो नरः ।
सोऽपि मुक्तः शुभाँल्लोकान्प्राप्नुयात्पुण्यकर्मणाम् ॥
śraddhāvānanasūyaśca śṛṇuyādapi yo naraḥ | so'pi muktaḥ śubhām̐llokānprāpnuyātpuṇyakarmaṇām ||
Even a person who simply listens to it, with faith and without scoffing, will be set free and will reach the happy worlds of those whose deeds are good.
Modern context
Even one who simply listens, with faith and without scoffing, is blessed. One does not need to be a scholar or a saint. Listening with an open heart is enough to begin. This is a gentle, inclusive ending. The Gita is not only for the learned; it is for anyone willing to hear it without contempt.
