Description

Acharya Prashant explains the context of Shri Krishna's dialogue with Arjuna regarding the fate of a seeker who possesses devotion but lacks stability or self-control. This type of seeker, referred to as one fallen from yoga, is someone whose devotion fluctuates and who fails to remain unflinching in their practice. Shri Krishna reassures a nervous Arjuna that such a person does not meet a deplorable end. Instead, their past spiritual efforts are preserved, and they are eventually reborn into a pious or wise family where they can capitalize on their previous wisdom to strive for perfection once more.
