If you are somebody approaching the Bhagavad Gītā as a devotee and accepts Kṛṣṇa, even if there is some fault, Kṛṣṇa says,

api cet su-durācāro

bhajate mām ananya-bhāk

sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ

samyag vyavasito hi saḥ (BG 9.30)

He said, “If somebody's rightly intentioned,” in other words, they want to be a devotee. They want to be pure, but they are not. They are actually horrible because they still have a lot of leftover stuff. Sudurācāro means they really are bad, but because they are well-intentioned, Kṛṣṇa says you should count them in with devotees, because

kṣipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā

śaśvac-chāntiṁ nigacchati

kaunteya pratijānīhi

na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati (BG 9.31)

He said, “By that approach itself with sincerity, even if you are really bad at it, and even if you make big mistakes, still very quickly you become purified.” And Kṛṣṇa tells Arjuna, “You say it out loud everywhere, because people will believe if you say it, that very quickly, my devotee becomes purified and attains the ultimate goal by the practice of devotional service.” So it’s okay to approach the Bhagavad Gītā even if you have some impurities.
