श्रद्धावाननसूयश्च शृणुयादपि यो नरः । सोऽपि मुक्तः शुभाँल्लोकान्प्राप्नुयात्पुण्यकर्मणाम् ॥ ७१ ॥
śhraddhāvān anasūyaśh cha śhṛiṇuyād api yo naraḥ so ’pi muktaḥ śhubhāñl lokān prāpnuyāt puṇya-karmaṇām
Translation
And a person who simply listens to it with faith and without scorn will also be freed and reach the auspicious worlds of the virtuous.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
और जो मनुष्य श्रद्धायुक्त और दोष-दृष्टि से रहित होकर इसे केवल सुनेगा भी, वह भी पापों से मुक्त होकर पुण्य कर्म करने वालों के शुभ लोकों को प्राप्त होगा।
Commentary
The circle widens once more: not only teachers and students but simple listeners benefit, provided they listen with faith (shraddhavan) and without cynicism (anasuya). The Gita is open to everyone, whatever their learning.
