असंयतात्मना योगो दुष्प्राप इति मे मति: |
वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्योऽवाप्तुमुपायत: || 36||
asaṃyatātmanā yōgō duṣprāpa iti mē matiḥ ।
vaśyātmanā tu yatatā śakyōvāptumupāyataḥ ॥ 36 ॥
जिसका मन वशमें किया हुआ नहीं है, ऐसे पुरुषद्वारा योग दुष्प्राप्य है और वशमें किये हुए मनवाले प्रयत्नशील पुरुषद्वारा साधनसे उसका प्राप्त होना सहज है – यह मेरा मत है|
Lord Krishna continued: In my opinion, O Arjuna, without a controlled mind, it is difficult for one to attain Yoga (attaining God). However, with a reasonable effort, the Yoga of even-mindedness (path to achieving the Lord) can be achieved by a person who has learned to control his senses.
अर्जुन उवाच |
अयति: श्रद्धयोपेतो योगाच्चलितमानस: |
अप्राप्य योगसंसिद्धिं कां गतिं कृष्ण गच्छति || 37||
Arjuna Uvacha ।
ayatiḥ śraddhayōpētō yōgāchchalitamānasaḥ ।
aprāpya yōgasaṃsiddhiṃ kāṃ gatiṃ kṛṣṇa gachChati ॥ 37 ॥
अर्जुन बोले—हे श्रीकृष्ण ! जो योगमें श्रद्धा रखनेवाला है; किन्तु संयमी नहीं है, इस कारण जिसका मन अन्तकालमें योगसे विचलित हो गया है, ऐसा साधक योगकी सिद्धिको अर्थात् भगवत्साक्षात्कारको न प्राप्त होकर किस गतिको प्राप्त होता है|
Arjuna asked the Lord: Dear Lord Krishna, what becomes of a man who has a firm belief in Yoga and has set foot on the path of Yoga, but allows his mind to deviate or stray from this path which leads to perfection?
कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति |
अप्रतिष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मण: पथि || 38||
kachchinnōbhayavibhraṣṭaśChinnābhramiva naśyati ।
apratiṣṭhō mahābāhō vimūḍhō brahmaṇaḥ pathi ॥ 38 ॥
हे महाबाहो ! क्या वह भगवत्प्राप्तिके मार्गमें मोहित और आश्रयरहित पुरुष छिन्न-भिन्न बादलकी भाँति दोनों ओरसे भ्रष्ट होकर नष्ट तो नहीं हो जाता ?
Arjuna continued: What happens to a man who can no longer continue on this path leading to the attainment of God (Yoga)? Is he destroyed and does he lose both worlds of Yoga (God-realization) and that of worldly enjoyment just as the clouds are scattered by the winds?
एतन्मे संशयं कृष्ण छेत्तुमर्हस्यशेषत: |
त्वदन्य: संशयस्यास्य छेत्ता न ह्युपपद्यते || 39||
ētanmē saṃśayaṃ kṛṣṇa Chēttumarhasyaśēṣataḥ ।
tvadanyaḥ saṃśayasyāsya Chēttā na hyupapadyatē ॥ 39 ॥
हे श्रीकृष्ण ! मेरे इस संशयको सम्पूर्णरूपसे छेदन करनेके लिये आप ही योग्य हैं, क्योंकि आपके सिवा दूसरा इस संशयका छेदन करनेवाला मिलना सम्भव नहीं है|
Lord Krishna, this is one of the doubts I have in my mind. You can remove it entirely. If anybody can remove all my doubts Krishna, it is You, and only You. Nobody else can clear My doubts completely.
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
पार्थ नैवेह नामुत्र विनाशस्तस्य विद्यते |
न हि कल्याणकृत्कश्चिद्दुर्गतिं तात गच्छति || 40||
Sri Bhagavan Uvacha ।
pārtha naivēha nāmutra vināśastasya vidyatē ।
na hi kalyāṇakṛtkaśchiddurgatiṃ tāta gachChati ॥ 40 ॥
श्रीभगवान् बोले– हे पार्थ ! उस पुरुषका न तो इस लोकमें नाश होता है और न परलोकमें ही । क्योंकि हे प्यारे ! आत्मोद्धारके लिये अर्थात् भगवत्प्राप्तिके लिये कर्म करनेवाला कोई भी मनुष्य दुर्गतिको प्राप्त नहीं होता
Lord Krishna replied: Dear Arjuna, the answer to your question is quite simple. A person who strives for God-realization (Yoga) never suffers deterioration or destruction. He is never destroyed in this world or in the other world regardless of whether he realizes Me fully or not.
