The entire content of this mail is from Shri V N Gopala Desikan's  Srimad Bhagavad Gita, published by Vishishtadvaita Research Centre, Chennai and The Bhagavad Gita by Swami Chidbhavananda published by Ramakrishna Mission

What is the benefit that the sadhaka derives in being tuned in Brahmavastha? It is delineated below

The Effects of the Two traits 5-6
1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 16 - Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga - Sloka 6

Tirupati Balaji
Dvau bhuta sargau loke asmin daivah asurah eva cha I
Daivah vistara shahpra uktah  asuram partha me shrunu II sloka 6
द्वौ भूत सर्गौ लोके अस्मिन् दैवः आसुरः एव च I 
दैवः विस्तार शः प्र उक्तः आसुरं पार्थ मे शृणु II श्लोक 6

There are two types of beings in this world, the divine and the demoniacal; the divine has been described at length; hear me, O Partha, of the demoniacal.

Beings both mobile and immobile all possess countless characteristics. But they may be all brought under two two broad types - the divine and the demoniacal. The former is pleasing and the latter is disquieting. One aids the evolution and the other retards it. The divine elements have already been elaborated upon; the asura elements yet remain to be explained. Negative ideas and ideals that are detrimental to the spiritual growth of the man, find no place in the dissertation of the Bhagavad Gita. Still, when the potential harm in them is pointed out, the sadhaka is is able to guard himself against those evils. For this, the Lord delineates on them to the extent necessary.
