The Fate of the Imperfect Yogi 37-45
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 6 - Dhyana Yoga - Sloka 37
Arjuna Uvacha
Ayatih shraddhaya upa itah yogat chalati manasah I
Aprapya yoga samsidhatim kam gitam krishna gacchati II Sloka 37
अर्जुन उवाच
अयतिः श्रद्धया उप इतः योगात् चलति मानसः ।
अप्राप्य योग संसिद्धतिं कां गतिं कृष्ण गच्छति ।। श्लोक ३७
A doubt now arises in the mind of Arjuna, with regard to the aspirant who falls short of perfection in yoga. He raises his question as follows:
Arjuna said
He who is unable to control himself, though possessed of faith, whose mind deviates from yoga, what end does he meet with, O Krishna, having failed to attain perfection in yoga?
The sadhaka is imbued with the faith that yoga leads to perfection. But he has not got the required firmness of mind. He has not therefore attained the goal of yoga. What becomes of him who dies foiled in the attempt?
