⁃ The Gita protects those who protect it

⁃ Those who revere the Gita, seek refuge in it, and practise its
teaching are rescued from the ocean of Samsara
⁃ It is not like a novel to peruse it once and throw it away. The Gita is
constantly in contact with life. People should study it regularly, and
continue to practise the laws proclaimed in it from day to day. In the
disasters and calamities of earthly life, the Gita offers indomitable
support.
⁃ Only those who have undisturbed faith in the Sastras and the holy
men who teach them, derive benefit from their study.
⁃ Therefore, the Gita should not be taught to those who do not
seek for liberation from the cycle of birth and death, to those who
do not have devotion to God and Guru, to those who do not serve
the teacher, and to those who speak ill of Me (God)
⁃ Faith and devotion are the only qualifications for the study of Gita
⁃ Purification of the mind is the first and most essential thing in
spiritual life. Therefore, the teacher of Gita lays special emphasis on
character building. Knowledge is impossible for one whose mind is
impure with greed and lust.
