Arjuna Uvacha।

ayatih shraddhayopeto yogac chalita-manasah। aprapya yoga-samsiddhim kam gatim krishna gacchati॥ 6.37 ॥

Arjuna said: O Sri Krishna, what is the destination of the unsuccessful transcendentalist, who in the beginning takes to the process of self-realization with faith but who later desists due to worldly-mindedness and thus does not attain perfection in mysticism?

kaccin nobhaya-vibhrastas chinnabhram iva nasyati। apratistho maha-baho vimudho brahmanah pathi॥ 6.38 ॥

Arjuna said: O mighty-armed Sri Krishna, does not such a man, who is bewildered from the path of transcendence, fall away from both spiritual and material success and perish like a torn cloud, with no position in any sphere?

etan me samsayam krishna chettum arhasy asesatah। tvad-anyah samsayasyasya chetta na hy upapadyate॥ 6.39 ॥

Arjuna said: This is my doubt, O Sri Krishna, and I ask You to dispel it completely. But for You, no one is to be found who can destroy this doubt.

Sri Bhagavan Uvacha।

Arjuna naiveha namutra vinasas tasya vidyate। na hi kalyana-krt kascid durgatim tata gacchati॥ 6.40 ॥

Sri Bhagavan said: O Arjuna, a transcendentalist engaged in auspicious activities does not meet with destruction either in this world or in the spiritual world; one who does good, My friend, is never overcome by evil.

prapya punya-kritam lokan usitva sasvatih samah। sucinam srimatam gehe yoga-bhrasto ’bhijayate॥ 6.41 ॥

The unsuccessful yogi, after many, many years of enjoyment on the planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous people, or into a family of rich aristocracy.

atha va yoginam eva kule bhavati dhimatam। etad dhi durlabhataram loke janma yad idrsam॥ 6.42 ॥

Or [if unsuccessful after long practice of yoga] he takes his birth in a family of transcendentalists who are surely great in wisdom. Certainly, such a birth is rare in this world.
