Who is considered qualified for attaining Brahman-knowledge, and what common intellectual pursuits are deemed insufficient?

Chapter 50 specifies that only the one who follows the words of the scriptures with the faith of a believer is truly qualified for Brahman-knowledge. For such a qualified person, this profound knowledge is very easy to attain. Conversely, the text explicitly states that several common intellectual pursuits are not the path to this knowledge. Mere discourse, the acceptance or study of many Vedas, intellectual genius, the retention of book meanings, or even the observation of many books are not what grant qualification. The path is one of faith and adherence to scriptural wisdom, not just intellectual prowess.
