In response to a question about whether the Gita can be taught to someone unwilling or functioning at a low level of consciousness, like Duryodhana, Acharya Prashant explains that it depends on the pain the teacher is willing to take. He states that the Gita can be brought to anybody, as ideal disciples like Arjuna are not always available. Sometimes, he says, Duryodhanas have to be turned into Arjuns. While it is relatively easier with an Arjuna, even that is a tricky affair. The crucial factor is that as long as a person has even the faintest remnant of consciousness, the Gita can be brought to them. However, this process will be tough, difficult, and dangerous because the teacher will need to stoop to the level of the receiver. Acharya Prashant clarifies that there is no clear dividing line between those who are qualified to receive the Gita and those who are not. Instead, there are grades and a progression in terms of capability, willingness, and qualification. It is not possible to say that someone's qualification is absolute zero. The decision to teach depends on how much the teacher is ready to bear, as choosing an incompetent disciple means hell for the teacher. He notes that some teachers have deliberately chosen incompetent disciples because incompetence was the order of the day and more prepared students were not available. They had to start with whoever was present. He illustrates this with a story of a Sufi master who waited his whole life for the perfect disciple, who never came. On his deathbed, the master realized his mistake and invited everyone, regardless of their flaws, quoting Rumi: "Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come." Acharya Prashant concludes that nobody truly deserves the Gita; its reception is an act of grace. If one feels they deserve the Gita, they don't need it. The Gita always comes as something beyond one's own merit, and one can only be grateful for it.
