Arjuna asked, “What is the fate of the yogi who lacks steadfastness, whose mind is restless in the pursuit of yoga, who begins the path with faith but is unable to reach the goal of Yoga in this life?
Commentary: Arjuna expresses his doubt and confusion regarding the outcome of one who attempts to practice yoga but lacks the focus. Despite having faith and initial enthusiasm for yoga, people struggle to maintain consistency and stability in their practice. Their mind becomes easily swayed and distracted, hindering their progress in the spiritual path.
Arjuna seeks clarification from Krishna to understand the consequences and prospects for those who falter in their pursuit of yoga.
