अर्जुन उवाच । अयतिः श्रद्धयोपेतो योगाच्चलितमानसः । अप्राप्य योगसंसिद्धिं कां गतिं कृष्ण गच्छति ॥ ३७ ॥
arjuna uvācha ayatiḥ śhraddhayopeto yogāch chalita-mānasaḥ aprāpya yoga-sansiddhiṁ kāṅ gatiṁ kṛiṣhṇa gachchhati
Translation
Arjun said: What becomes of one who has faith but does not strive enough, whose mind strays from yoga, and who fails to reach perfection in yoga, O Krishna?
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
अर्जुन बोले: हे श्रीकृष्ण! जो योग में श्रद्धा रखने वाला है, पर संयमी नहीं है, और अंतकाल में जिसका मन योग से विचलित हो गया — ऐसा साधक योग की सिद्धि को न प्राप्त होकर किस गति को प्राप्त होता है?
Commentary
A heartfelt question, and a very human one. What if I try sincerely but fall short in this life? Have I wasted everything? Arjun asks on behalf of every imperfect seeker.
