This i my spiritual thought "God ignores the ignorant, only the learned can reach him." This is a spiritual statement do you agree with this? Because in Bhagavad gita they have mentioned something similar to this statement.

No. This is Gnostic doctrine.
Gnosticism, which predates Christianity by a few centuries, teaches:
+ The physical world is bad
+ Only spirituality is good
+ Humans are trapped in between
+ Salvation comes from knowledge (gnosis means knowledge)
+ Elitism, only a chosen few will be saved
All of which go against the teaching of Christianity
+ The physical world is good. God said so in Genesis.
+ Humans are physical and spiritual beings and both natures are good
+ Salvation comes from grace and not merit
+ God wants all to be saved
With love in Christ.

Nobody can reach or help the unlearned but God. God can use anyone to reach anyone even themselves by an event that happens in their life. Some of the best wisdom comes from a child's mind and they are unlearned. So does God ignore people...no...some people just don't listen. He tries to reach everyone. We are always learning and if someone says they know it all then that shows how much they have left to learn.

No, I don't agree. God does not ignore anyone; it only appears so. Although I am still learning, I know for certain that I was quite ignorant before starting to learn about God's ways. Even the most ignorant today will become learned tomorrow.

Yes He forgives ignorance and even winks at it the bible says, but about the learned can only reach God is absurd. God is open and loving to anyone who wants to reach Him. He said ALL who are burdened and heavy-laiden not just the learned. He also says for the little children not to be forbidden to come to Him. Are they fully learned?

no, i don't agree with that. God doesn't ignore the ignorant. in fact, he continues to try to reach out to them.
what they mean with the statement "only the learned can reach him" is that people who are seeking God will surely find him and learn about him while people who doesn't care to know about God will of course has lesser chance to get to know more about God because he has given us freewill.

Partly, yes. This is Gnostic doctrine.
Gnosticism (which meas Knowledge), which predates Christianity was founded by Jesus and his apostles. They called is Nazarene or "truth seekers".
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/nazarenes/nazarenes_0010.htm
Jesus taught:
+ YHWH and the Sadducee High Priests who dress in white robes and claim to be good, are in fact evil
+ Only spirituality is good
+ Whilst people who use double-speak (say good things but worship satan) are in power Humans are trapped
+ Salvation comes from knowledge (gnosis means knowledge)
+ Reality, the trickery of evil is powerful, sadly only a few choose to save themselves and learn.
All of which go against the teaching of Christianity.
Paul of Tarsus, Josephus ben Matthias and The Jewish High Priests created Christianity as a parasite to destroy gnostic beliefs. See:

I know many scholars & educated people, even those who educate themselves on theology and the Bible, and yet, are ignorant to Bible Truths.
You can be ignorant, yet meek and be seeking God, and you will find him.
Case in point: Matthew 11:25 says, "At the time Jesus said in response: 'I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes."

no i don't.
we are all one in the same and a part of each other and of God. regardless of our chosen experiences in this life, to be that in ignorance or educated. And further who gets to define what "learned" really is?
good luck on your journey
